SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMOETALITY. 



PREFACE. 

The object of this book is to announce to the world the 
Second Coming of the Christ. 

Much has been written and much has been taught along 
this line, but few are authorized to know the Christ — the 
Son of Man. 

There are those who have told us that the Christ is with- 
in us, but none have been able to tell us HOW we are to 
KNOW the Christ within and when he comes. 

How can we know the Christ when he comes? 

This is the main question. If the Christ is within us 
WE KNOW. We have proof, and we have authority, 
whereas before we have merely guessed and theorized and 
BELIEVED. Now we are to KNOW. 

Peter says: "We have not followed cunningly devised 
fables when we made known unto you the power and 
coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, but were EYE WIT- 
NESSES to His Majesty." 

"For he received from God the Father honor and glory, 
when there came such a voice to him from this excellent 
glory, 'THIS IS MY BELOVED SON in whom I AM 
WELL PLEASED.' And the voice which came from 
heaven WE HEARD when we were with him on the holy 
mount." 

"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; where 
unto ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light that shin- 
eth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star 
arise in YOUR HEARTS." 

"Knowing the prophecy came not in olden time BY 



8 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

THE WILL OF MAN; but HOLY men of God spake as 
they were moved by the Holy Ghost." (Fire — Soul.) 

This prophecy of the Second Coming is fulfilled and 
"the time is at hand," and "ye do well to take heed." 

Power is given to the student to know, for if the Christ 
is within you, "ye shall be neither barren nor unfruitful in 
the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ." 

We do not teach the coming of Jesus in the flesh to set 
up a kingdom here on earth, nor to gather a certain pre- 
destined few to take with him to heaven, we are to teach 
THE CHRIST, the True Conception of God, the Creator 
of all men, as Jesus taught it ages ago. 

"He who knows" has been COMMANDED and author- 
ized from the Great White Throne to deliver the message 
to the world. 

HEAR YE HIM. 

"Ye are to announce to the whole world the advent of 
the Christ Principle." 

"Ye are to teach to all peoples the Coming of the Christ 
the Son of Man." The command from the Great White 
Throne. 

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and 
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of 
God: and they that hear shall live." 

"He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that 
sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into con- 
demnation; but is passed from death unto life." 

The world has been looking forward to the coming of 
the Christ, and many teachers and prophets have proclaim- 
ed him from divers places. But Jesus said: "Many will 
come in my name saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive 
many." And he further explained to them the sign of his 
coming. 

He said: "As the lightning Cometh out of the East and 
shineth even unto the West, so shall also the Coming of 
the Son oj Man be." 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



Strange that prophets, priests and sages have given so 
little attention to the meaning of this verse of the Scrip- 
ture. No words could be plainer. Sheathed they are in 
the symbols of heaven, yet plain to "he who knows." 

Lightning which cometh out of the East. Lightning is 
the electrical vibration of heaven — MIND, the Supreme 
Creator of all the Universe. The Minds, the Thoughts, which 
have lived for ages in the great souls of prophets, priests 
and sages, the desires and prayers of the Ancient Mystics 
have reached unto the innermost recesses of the Western 
World. The soul of the Christ has spread its wings over 
the entire world, and the hour of its acceptance is at hand. 

"And the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; 
and they that hear shall live." 

Those who have spent their lives seeking among the il- 
lusions and snares of the earth, those who are dead to the 
Truth, who have not accepted the words of wisdom and 
have not builded their soul on the Rock of Truth (Christ 
Principle) shall hear his voice and they shall live. 

Soul Science has come, which is the Christ, sent by the 
command from the Great White Throne. 

"Out of the Throne proceeded lightnings and thunder- 
ings and voices; and there were seven lamps of FIRE burn- 
ing before the Throne which were the Spirits of God." 

Soul Science is the Baptism of Fire, which is also the 
Holy Ghost. The second Coming of the Christ was prom- 
ised by One who knew and possessed the Soul of Christ, 
who represented these who sit on the Great White Throne 
and who are the Seven Spirits of God. 

Many have taught when his coming would be, but none 
have spoken with AUTHORITY. 

This book which we now present to the public contains 
the message of Life and the voice of those who have spok- 
en. These words are Spirit and they are Life, and he who 
listens shall live. 

Before Jesus came John the Baptist. He came crying - 



10 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

in the wilderness of error, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, 
make his paths straight." 

John the Baptist was the forerunner of the Christ. 

He prepared the people for the acceptance of the Truth. 
He said: "I am come baptising with water (Mind), but one 
mightier than I cometh, the latchets of whose shoes I am 
not worthy to unloose; he shall baptise you with fire 
(Soul.) 

Water is the symbol of Mind. We know that John 
taught and healed many. He was a mind, or mental heal- 
er. The world waited long in a wilderness of darkness and 
error before it accepted the power and work of the Mind 
healers. 

Many have used the power erroneously until the great 
AFF1RMER arose in the person of Mary Baker G. Eddy 
and gave to the struggling, misguided mentalists the prin- 
ciple of Mind and Mental healing. 

As John the Baptist looked forward to the greater dem- 
onstration of power and glory from above, so did the great 
Baptist disciple look forward to a greater demonstration of 
the power from on high. It has not come as she expected, 
but the day of the Son of Man is here as an- 
nounced by John the Baptist. The material age, the age 
of darkness represented by the word Egypt has long since 
passed. Egypt has represented darkness, unenlightenment, 
yet out of the darkness came light. "And the earth was 
without form and void, and darkness was upon the face 
of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face 
of the water, and God said, "Let there be light and there 
was light." 

Egypt once held all the mysteries and teachings of the 
ancients, jt held the true light, and from it the Truth, the 
esoteric teachings of the Philosophers and Wise men had 
come. Over the tombs of the Pharoahs, within the pyra- 
mids and obelisks still live the letters of Fire, the symbols 
of the One God, the great unknown but Knowable One, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. H 

who is the Life and Light of the world. 

Moses brought the Truth from Egypt to the Jews. Jesus 
brought it once again from the crypts and secret places to 
both Jew and Gentiles, and as the lightning flashes from 
the east and shineth even unto the west, so have the Words 
of the Living God, the Osiris of the Egyptians, the God 
of Moses, and the Christ of Jesus, broke the darkened 
clouds of materialism and dead faith, and spread the light 
deep into the hearts of the western world of men. 

Mesmer, considered (but was not) the discoverer of a 
S) mpathetic vibration between the heavenly bodies and the 
earth, and the human bodies. 

This he called magnetism, or animal magnetism. 

He had not attained the perfection of mental science. 

He gave the physical facts of magnetism, for he did not 
go beyond matter and the physical body, but his teachings 
were true, and were of great help to the world in the ma- 
terial age. Magnetism is not entirely a physical attraction. 
In reality its principles are truly mental, but it had not de- 
veloped in that era or age. 

Then came John the Baptist, "the Elias of old which 
was for to come," in the form of Mind Science. 

Wonderful work has been accomplished by Mental or 
Mind Science in its varied forms. 

The mind is the real Creator. The mind makes or mars 
the world of souls. Mind must come first, for it is the 
forerunner of the Christ which is the Soul, for Mind builds 
the Soul. 

But Mind dies and Soul lives. 

In the beginning when God created, when the Word be- 
came flesh, the Spirit of God (developed Mind) moved 
upon the face of the waters (minds) and there was Light. 
When the Divine Mind of God moved upon the minds of 
men, God-mind became flesh, was created in the flesh, and 
the Light of Truth, God, was born in the minds of men. 

Man began to learn that he was of the Creator, that he 



12 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



also was created and was a part of the Creator. 

All the mental and mind healers and teachers have given 
the world great good and the promise of Life, for the 
Teacher of the Living Fire followed the Teacher of the 
Mind. 

He (Christ) also was to he baptized with water or Mind. 

John was amazed when he saw Him there giving him 
homage and acknowledgement of being the greatest teach- 
er then living. Jesus became RECEPTIVE to the MIND 
TEACHING, "Knowing whereof it listeth." 

Now the day of the Christ is at hand. He that baptizes 
with Fire (Soul) is here, and this is the day of Soul Science 
for, as John taught, the Baptism of Fire (Soul) shall fol- 
low him. 

Mental Science has paved the way for the Science of the 
Soul or Fire. It is that Fire which spoke to Moses in the 
Burning Bush. It is the Fire which lighted the children of 
Israel from Egyptian Rule or DARKNESS. It is the Fire 
that descended in the "form of a dove from heaven," and 
the tongue of fire which sat upon the Apostles on the day 
of Pentacost. It is the Soul, the AWAKENED Soul of 
the Christ WITHIN man. 

It has been but a month sincz that "Clvisthood and 
Adeptship" has been issued, and few men could dream that 
it would be accepted as the first cry in the wilderness. It 
has fallen upon the highways and byways of many hearts 
and they have recognized it as the Seed of Life for which 
they have thirsted long. It has explained fully and simply 
all that Mind is, its power and the secret of its power. 

It is the forerunner of the psesent work, and should be 
studied with it. One who has a copy of the former work 
says: "A few days ago 1 received the book "Christbood 
and Adeptship" and have read it over several times and 
find it, next to the Bible, the most interesting book I ever 
read. But 1 must know more. From all over the land 
come messages of encouragement and a demand for more 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 13 

and more of the same teachings." And "He Who Knows" 
has received COMMAND to issue the present work. Thus 
the time for the Baptism of Fire is at hand, and that which 
is of the Soul must take the place of that which is of the 
mind only. The Soul is greater than the mind. It is the 
living man, the eternal Life of the Spirit. It is the Light 
of men, the living Fire or eternal death, which ever he 
chooses to make it. Jesus taught that the Soul was great- 
er than all else. He has said: "What will it profit a man 
to gain the whole world and lose his own soul." 

All through the Gospels and the writings of the Apostles 
those who were inspired and authorized to speak as the 
oracle of God, warned and taught men to develop the 
Soul. To bring the Soul to the knowledge of the One 
God. 

Paul tells us, "To be carnally wicked is death, but to be 
spiritually minded is life and peace." 

The mind builds the Soul, and a spiritual mind builds 
life and peace. 

"The God of peace sanctify you wholly; and 1 pray God 
your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blame- 
less unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Herein 
he warns us to preserve the spirit, soul and body. 

Paul again says: "We are laborers together with God. 
Ye are God's husbandry. Ye are God's BUILDING. Ac- 
cording to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a 
wise master thereon, but let every man take heed how he 
buildeih thereon." 

"Every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day 
shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire (Soul); 
and the Fire shall try every man's work what sort it is." 

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that 
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 

If any man defile the temple (his body) of God, him 
shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which 
temple ye are," 



14 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



God will destroy the unholy — the God that is WITTIN 
you, when you are tried by the Fire of what sort your 
work is. 

For "God is a consuming fire" (Soul). 

The work of the New Church is to establish the true 
conception of the Christ upon the same Rock it was built 
upon when the Master laid the foundation to be built up- 
on by those who should follow him. 

"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God." 

On this Rock He built His Church 

The Soul is the man, and THOU art the soul; therefore 
THOU art the Son of the LIVING God. 

The work of the Church is to establish the Soul's rela- 
tionship to God after the manner of Christ. 

Christ was the Master Builder, and he has laid the foun- 
dation for others to build upon. 

The foundation is Love, Truth, Virtue, Patience, Gen- 
tleness, Forbearance, Kindness, LongsufTering toward all 
God's creatures. 

To teach development of mind and soul. 

Soul Science does not criticise nor antagonize the Bible. 
Its mission is to lift the veil from the hidden Truth and 
mysteries so that all can understand. 

We teach all men how to live pure, clean lives and 
identify the Soul with the Christ. 

Few know the Soul, where it is and what it is. 

The Church will open the understanding so that the 
Soul will manifest itself and its real works to the earnest 
seeker. 

Healing stations and schools are to be established in ev- 
ery city and town where the Truth will be accepted. The 
Healing of the Soul or the JEth is taught, and this is the 
Healing of the Christ. 

Christ healed not by mind alone. He employed both 
Mind and Soul, and his works were greater than any the 
world had ever seen, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 15 



The Church "announces to the whole world the Advent 
of the Christ Principle." 

It will teach the whole world the Coming of the Christ, 
the Son of Man. 

It will "gather together the elect from the four winds of 
heaven, lift up the fallen, open the eyes of the blind, heal 
the broken-hearted, and teach the gospel to the poor, and 
set at liberty them that are bruised." 

This is the Church of Illumination, the Second Coming 
of the Christ. 

The time spoken of in the Bible is here. 

The time when Christ shall come "to be glorified in his 
saints and to be admired in all Ihem that believe." 

The day spoken of in the Bible "cometh as a thief in 
the night." 

The man of evil, the desires and longings of the flesh, 
shall say: " 'Peace and safety;' then suddenly destruction 
cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child; 
and they shall not escape," for when the Light of Truth 
dawns upon the minds of men all evil shall flee. 

Jesus said: "I am come to send Force on the earth." 

John the Baptist said: "1 am come baptizing you with 
water (mind), but one mightier than 1 cometh, the latches 
of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose. He shall bap- 
tize you with Fire (Soul.") 

"You who are troubled rest with me, when the Lord 
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty an- 
gels, in Flaming Fire, taking vengeance on them who know 
not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus 
Christ." 

The evil thoughts and desires are those that obey not. 
Vengeance is the taking away of these evils which hold 
men in the thrall and lure of the earth and the flesh. 

Thus Jesus is revealed in the Fire Baptism. 

Soul Science or Immortality teaches all that can be 
known, taught or revealed openly, it is the Baptism of 



16 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



Fire and the Holy Ghost. 

Every Chapter gives the Truth, simply, plain and con- 
cise. There is no vague, visionary teaching. It is found- 
ed upon the Rock of Truth, the Christ. The student learns 
to know good from evil, false from true. 

"A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways," for 
he knows not good from evil and false from true, and the 
greatest dangers to the student are the ignorant dabblers in 
"science falsely so-called," and those who call themselves 
occultists without authority or understanding of the 
Truth. 

Paul says, "Let no man beguile you of your reward in 
a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intending 
unto those things, which he hath not seen, vainly puffed 
up by his fleshy mind. And not holding the Head, from 
which all the body by joints and bands having nourish- 
ment ministered, and knit together increaseth with the in- 
crease of God. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from 
the rudiments of the world, who as though living in the 
world are ye subject to ordinances." 

"Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in WILL 
WORSHIP, and humility and neglecting of the body; not 
in any hour to the satisfying of the flesh." 

"Seek those things which are above, where Christ sit- 
teth on the right hand of God." 

"When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall 
ye also appear with him in glory." 

"For when he doth appear, we shall be like him for we 
shall see him as he is." 

Those who read this book, "Soul Science and Immoi- 
tality," and LIVE IT will be healed mentally and physic- 
ally. All the secrets of LIFE and DEATH are made plain. 
The greatest healing power ever given to mankind was 
demonstrated by Jesus the Christ. 

In /Eth Healing the same Laws, the same Rules, the ac- 
tual power and healing as taught by Jesus are revealed, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 17 



The student KNOWS. There is no blind following of 
the blind. He is able to prove for himself and to himself 
its wonders and its Truth. 

What the book can do for mankind has never been ac- 
complished by any teacher or healer since the time of 
Jesus. Mind or Mental Healing has accomplished great 
wonders and blessed the world as in the day of John the 
Baptist, the great Mind Healer, but the Christ HAS COME 
— come to Baptize with Fire. His spirit has descended in 
like manner as he descended and His Word is preached 
again to ALL people, for he promised to be with us unto 
the end. 



18 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 




ANNUNCIATION— CONCEPTION 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 19 



Annunciation— Conception. 

The student who is earnestly and sincerely seeking 
for the truth will find it advisable to begin with a 
sure, reliable foundation. 

He must have some idea of what he wishes to accom- 
plish, and a desire for absolute, tenable truth. 

Many fail in the beginning because of a lack of 
penetration. As soon asi the student begins to inquire 
into the greater knowledge he is immediately sur- 
rounded by many and divers kinds of influences. 
Therefore he is ofttimes misled, and goes far out of 
the right path. Again, he becomes disgusted or dis- 
couraged and either goes back into the old mode of 
life or becomes a bitter doubter of all religions or 
ideas of Christianity. This is not so much his own 
fault, for there are many teachers in the world to-day, 
who are claiming the Christ, and the soul yet un- 
balanced or still lacking poise, is easily deceived by 
such. Yet for the earnest, sincere, obedient seeker, 
the Master is always waiting. 

Desire does not begin to trouble the conscience un- 
less there is a way to attain perfection and knowledge. 

The old life, the old religion, worn to threads by its 
"worm of the dust" and "predestination" does not 
satisfy any longer the hunger and craving of the soul. 



20 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

Soul is not mind — soul is not intellect. 

The mind is the builder of the soul, but the mind, 
unless guided and guarded properly, may starve the 
soul or hurt it unto destruction by its inability to de- 
tect the false from the real. 

The intellectual mind is not always the understand- 
ing mind. 

It takes an understanding mind, the obedient mind, 
to build the Christ Soul. 

Lack of education, or great intellectual attainment, 
or brilliancy, does not deter one from building a soul 
of knowledge and power. 

The great, highly evolved soul will work on Christ- 
ward, in spite of any obstacle or material condition. 
The soul in choosing parentage in incarnation chooses 
the soul — not the mind — in harmony with its own. 

There are no intellectual spheres beyond the veil. 

The soul world is the world of the souls and is not 
the mind world. Mind dies with the body, no matter 
how brilliant it may be. So what is mind after all if 
it builds nothing that will live ? 

In choosing parentage the cold, intellectual soul 
would naturally choose parents whose souls are on the 
same plane. 

We have often seen families who were very intel- 
lectual, who were always striving for and attaining 
great intellectual brilliancy and superiority, — they 
have accumulated together the intellectual desires in 
previous existences and so harmonize with desires that 
attract them. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 21 

I am not speaking against intellectual development, 
cr attainment, but I only wish to prove to those who 
are sometimes discouraged, and hold back much that 
is within them, because of a lack of education, that the 
mind and intellect is not all, and is not the soul. 

To the great soul,— the soul evolving Christward — 
it makes no difference as to parentage. It will evolve 
onward anyway, overcoming the greatest obstacle and 
the grossest and densest of flesh and materiality. 

The mind builds soul, but the educated mind does 
not always build soul. We see great, brilliant minds 
about us absolutely incapable cf understanding or ac- 
cepting the truth or immortality. 

If the acquirement of truth or Christ depends en- 
tirely on intellect then the world would have known 
the Christ long ago. 

The inner knowledge comes from the soul itself. 

The mind builds the soul, creates it, but the soul 
itself must awaken. 

John the Baptist said, "I am come baptizing with 
water (water is mind), but one mightier than I 
eometh, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to 
unloose ; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and 
with Fire." 

Water is mind according to the knowledge of the 
Ancients, but what is the Holy Ghost and Fire ? 

The Holy Ghost is knowledge and power, and Fire 
is Soul. It therefore proves to us that mind (water) 
is less than Are (soul). 

The enlightened mind is the great soul builder. 



22 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

All necessary knowledge, all necessary mental ac- 
quirements come to the awakened soul, or the highly 
evolved soul. 

Napoleon possessed one of the most remarkable 
minds of the ages, but he builded an egotistical, selfish 
soul which destroyed him in the hour of triumph. The 
soul stands or falls. If built according to the plans 
of the Creator, the Christ, it will stand. If it is 
moulded according to our own presumptuous plans it 
will fall. 

Oscar Wilde's mind was the most brilliant of his 
day, but it was brilliant at the expense of eating up 
the soul instead of building it. 

Therefore, for a sure, reliable, tenable foundation, 
we must depend on soul and what is required to build 
a soul. 

The first glimpse of truth, the first intuitional 
knowledge that there is something theologians have 
net explained, the churches have not given, is the an- 
nunciation of truth or the conception of Christ. 

When the knowledge first dawned upon the mind 
of Mary, she wondered, "How can this be?" 

The angel said unto her, "The Holy Ghost shall 
come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall 
overshadow thee; therefore also that holy thing (the 
Soul of Christ) which shall be born of thee shall be 
called the Son of God." 

So in re-birth, the annunciation of the Angel of 
Truth, is the information or realization that the soul 
which is born of knowledge, and power of the Highest 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 23 

is the Son of God. 

We have conceived the word. It is made flesh, but 
is holy, because it is born of the Highest, the Holy 
Ghost, and is the fire that we are baptized with. 

The word fire has caused much conjecture as to its 
true meaning among many of the Christian teachers, 
and has been interpreted to signify many different 
things. 

At the time of Jesus, when self-righteous Pharisees 
— intellectual giants they were chiefly — controlled the 
religious rites and ceremonies, few knew the meaning 
of the word soul. Pew knew whether they possessed 
soul, and fewer still knew what it was and where it 
was. And teachers of to-day, while they teach many 
beautiful truths, do not teach soul and soul-building, 
which is the essential demand of truth. We must have 
soul or existence ceases. 

God is Soul and the Christ or Son of God is the Soul 
of God, therefore when we build the Christ wM build 
the Soul of God. 

We are baptized in Christ and "arise up and walk 
in newness of life, ' ' for we have life eternal. 

What is soul ? 

Where is soul ? 

Have you a soul? 

These three questions are the beginning for the 
seeker for truth. 

How many can answer ? 

If you cannot correctly answer these three questions 
ycu have not laid the foundation for your soul build- 



24 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

ing. When we build a house we should first know what 
a house is. We should know where it should be. We 
should always be able to know whether we have one 
or not. 

We should feel very foolish if some one should ask 
us if we owned a house and we would say that we did 
not know. And again, we would certainly be con- 
sidered very stupid if we claimed we owned a house 
and yet could not tell what it was like or where it w T as. 

Man strives to know all things material, but with- 
out any compunction, or regret whatever, allows him- 
self to grow stupidly blind spiritually, when spiritu- 
ality is the most essential of all things. 

It is life — life eternal, but the materialist gropes on 
unmindful of this great fact. 

John tells us that the "Word was made flesh and 
dwelt among us." 

Soul was made (entered into) flesh and dwelt 
among us. 

The Word is fire and fire is soul. 

"In the beginning was the Word (soul), and the 
Word (or soul) was with God, and the Word (soul) 
was God." 

"All things were made by him; and without him 
(God) was not anything made that was made. " 

"In him was life; and the life (soul) was the light 
of man." 

The sun is the soul of the universe. 

The Sun or (Christ) Son is the Soul of God and the 
soul of man is the sun of his body, just as the Soul of 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 25 

Gcd is the Light or Sun of the world, which is the Life 
and Light of men. 

The soul is "the light that shineth in darkness; and 
the darkness (flesh) comprehends it not." 

"There was a man sent from God whose name was 
John. The same came for a witness, to hear witness 
of the Light; that all men through him might be- 
lieve." 

John represents mind. He came baptizing with 
water (mind)i 

The mind is the witness of the soul, for with the 
mind we believe and all men believe with mind, for 
the mind is witness of the soul. The mind conveys the 
fact to us that we have a soul. 

John or Mind was not the Light (Christ or Soul), 
but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 

"And this is the true Light, which lightest every 
man that cometh into the world. ' ' 

Every man born into the world is soul and the soul 
is his light. 

This mind is the witness, whether he is in darkness 
or light. 

"He that cometh after me is preferred before me; 
for he was before me. ' ' 

Soul comes after mind but is preferred before mind, 
for soul was before mind. Soul existed before it 
entered mind and flesh. 

' ' The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth 
came by Jesus Christ — the Son of God. 

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only be- 
gotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he 
hath declared him."

THE CONFESSION 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 27 



The Confession. 



Confession means acknowledgment. 

To confess is to acknowledge or admit the truth of a 
thing. 

The confession of Jesus was an acknowledgment of 
the truth of his Christhood — his Oneness with God. 

Many err, however, in believing that confession — 
true confession — is demanded in any other way except 
by right living and thinking. 

To speak the words that we believe that Jesus is the 
Christ, the Son of God, is not altogether necessary. 
Jesus commanded not a verbal acknowledgment or 
confession from the disciples. He desired the con- 
fession of the heart, the turning away from false be- 
liefs and adherence to duty and understanding of the 
soul. Jesus said, "Whosoever will come after me, let 
him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow 
me." 

When we come to the understanding of this Christ 
or the Christhood, the lustfulness and desires and 
pleasures of the earth or flesh must be thrust from us. 
This is the denial of self. Self must be cast cut. 
Jesus meant not that we must hate self or the world, 
but self is strong within us and it is hard for us to dis- 
tinguish between a rightful demand of self and selfish- 



28 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

ness. Selfishness and self-absorption, which is but 
another form of selfishness, are parallel and are equal. 
A self-absorbed person oftentimes excuses his selfish- 
ness under this title. "We may become so engrossed 
with our own plans, ideas, works or desires as to be 
utterly selfish. Many selfish persons are pure minded 
and liberal in many ways, yet they lose sight of the 
desire and wishes of those about them by becoming too 
much attached to their own wants and wishes. Self 
is one of the greatest tempters we have to guard 
against. It is the most subtle, the most illuring devil 
of the ages. Our self is not always as we appear nor 
as we think we are or would like to be. We are sur- 
rounded by a beautiful mental picture of ourselves, 
not as we are, but as we have idealized ourselves to be. 

It is a picture touched up with master strokes. All 
the blemishes are carefully removed and the true like- 
ness barely traceable. Yet we go on blindly worship- 
ping the beautiful idea we call self, the while we are 
building a soul whose likeness would startle us with 
shame and surprise. 

"Let him deny himself." The Master knew this 
would be a cross. No man ever denied self without 
crucifying himself. The greatest task we have set 
before us is to analyze the intricate problem of self 
and find out what it really is. But this is the one 
thing necessary. It is the demand of the Christ. To 
follow him we must walk as he walked, in understand- 
ing, trustfulness and righteousness. We can not let it 
to the soul. It images the lies and the deceit we prac- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 29 



tice upon its everlasting records. 

When we confess the Christ we really profess the 
Christ. 

But no confession or profession will ever do any 
good if it is not of the soul. 

Jesus daily confesses his Sonship with God, not by 
words alone — but by living and demonstrating the 
truth. 

His works were of the Soul — the Christ Soul — Soul 
of God, and his works confessed him and his faith, for 
confession and faith marks us indelibly in the eyes of 
all men. We may deny that we have stolen a thousand 
dollars, but if we go and commit the act against our 
denial we are guilty and the act alone is the confession 
— the soul knows and records. 

• How many of us realize that we also daily confess 
our own true selves ? 

Perhaps we are well fed, clothed and warm, and we 
say we have pity for those shut out in the cold, starv- 
ing and wandering about without comfort, yet we 
make no effort to relieve their suffering, not to open 
their eyes to the truth, to a realization that God meant 
all to enjoy his many blessings, we really confess then 
that we know not the Christ and are not obeying his 
greatest commandment, to love one another. 

We find it hard to forgive those who have wronged 
us, but we cannot confess Christship until we learn to 
forgive these who have wronged us and who hate us. 
For to confess is in another seme to obey. If we fol- 
low the Master we must obey. And to obey brings the. 



30 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

cross. 

Yet why should the cross cause suffering when it 
bring® eternal life? There is no other way to attain 
it- — no other way to go. No man or woman ever at- 
tained the Soul of Christ except by the way of the 
cross. 

When we become strong and the light and under- 
standing comes to us, when the beauty of the soul 
dawns upon us then the cross loses its pain and its 
terrors and we go onward in joy and peace and 
thanksgiving. It is not pain to us any more to deny 
self its unlawful longings. Self is no more the earth- 
bound thief claiming sonship with God and daily con- 
fessing indifference to duty, fellowship with evil and 
lustfulness of the world. It is a glorified self full of 
love and righteousness. 

Self is really soul. 

We build a self in the same manner that we build 
a soul, for self is constructed out of the thoughts and 
ideas of the mind. 

We are what we think, not as we think we are. 

There is but one mind and this mind is the Creator 
of our self and our soul. 

There is no such thing as a sub-conscious mind. 

What many call sub-conscious mind is the soul that 
mind has builded. 

When the body sleeps the mind sleeps. 

When the body dies, the mind dies — only soul is 
ever awake and ever lives. 

They tell us that the sub-conscious mind is a sort of 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 31 

storage-house. It is a place where all thoughts and 
ideas are stored up. This is nothing but soul. 

The stored up thoughts and ideas of mind are re- 
ceived, retained by the soul and the soul is fashioned, 
formed, moulded, by thoughts or vibrations from the 
mind. 

Those who heal through the sub-conscious mind 
really employ the soul to do their bidding. 

Mind is the operator, the soul is the subject and is 
subservient, while in the physical life, to the will of 
the mind. 

Mind creates health by thinking health, the soul re- 
ceives health by receiving the thoughts of the mind, 
and the soul is manifested in the body. Soul is the 
stronger because it lives. When the body and mind 
die the soul exists on and on for ages and throughout 
all time. But it can only exist as it was created, that 
is ivhy existence beyond the grave is simply a con- 
tinuation of what the present life is. 

The soul cannot be silenced or muzzled. 

Scientists have succeeded in photographing the 
thoughts of the mind. These photographs prove that 
thoughts are substance. They are the same as any 
other substance. They produce substance. 

There are adepts in India that are able to create 
pearls out of a drop of water held in the. mouth. This 
by faith. 

Faith is nothing but intensified thought, desire. 

Paul tells us that, "Faith is the substance of things 
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,'' 



32 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMOKTALITY. 

Thought may be illustrated to mean the same thing. 
Thought is the substance of things hoped for, it is 
also the evidence of things not seen. But man has 
attained the power to give evidence of thoughts seen. 
"When we hope for a thing we think of it, and our 
thoughts are evidence of thought power though not 
seen. 

Thoughts are really faith, for we could have no 
faith if we had no thoughts. "According to our 
thoughts so be it" — is as strong as "according to our 
faith so be it." 

We manifest our faith by thoughts, for we act ac- 
cording to the thoughts and desires of the mind. Thus 
when we have faith in Christ we think Christ. We 
believe by thinking and as we think we act. The 
adept moulded the pearl from the drop of water by 
thinking. 

The force of his thoughts produced the pearl. 

When we confess our faith we confess our thoughts. 
We manifest our thoughts. In confession of the Christ 
we manifest cur thoughts of Christ. We produce 
Christ thoughts, and these thoughts are substance — 
this substance is soul and the soul is ever confessing 
its true self. 

The body daily confesses the truth or evil. 

What the body does is a confession of mind and 
soul. 

If there were no such thing as matter there could 
be no soul. 

If there were no soul there would be no mind, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 33 



Every mind creates a scul or destroys a soul. 

The mind that builds a soul can destroy the soul 
just the same as an architect or carpenter can destroy 
the house he has builded. When man has no soul he 
has destroyed it by continual following of evil, sensual, 
selfish thinking and living ! 

Have you ever thought why Jesus was a carpenter? 

Does it not seem strange that he should be a 
builder f 

He had to build the soul — the Christ. 

Matter or body is but the house of the soul. The 
soul dwells in the body. The body confesses the soul. 
The body manifests the scul. 

The body acknowledges and admits that there is a 
soul. If the body acknowledges disease, sin, anger, 
jealousy, malice, conceit, selfishness, hauteur, pride, 
beware of the soul. It is condemning, confessing its 
own self. Its true self. 

And what is it that creates soul ? 

Thoughts, desires, will. 

Is it not easy to understand how impossible it is to 
harm another more than we harm our own soul? 

Every thought sent out to another is received and 
registered in the soul. 

All that we can wish or will to come upon another 
is stored up within the soul and makes it a testimonial 
or confessor for or against our own self. 

It is impossible to destroy another's soul without 
destroying our own, and the soul does not lie to save 
itself, It cannot, It is helpless, it must be what it is, 



34 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

an eternal testimonial or confession of life or death, 
of goodness or evil. 

No soul can be overcome, when once awakened. 

It evolves onward in spite of all trials and tribula- 
tions, all obstacles, all impediments, when it is aroused 
to an understanding of Sonship and Christhood, for 
if we confess him in living and bearing his name of 
truth and righteousness, he will also confess us, he 
will dwell witliin us, confessing that he is there guid- 
ing, leading and bearing us ever onward and upward, 
for he has promised that where "I am there ye may 
be also." 

The soul always gives expression of itself. 

The dwarfed, the blind, the deaf, the dumb, if they 
have souls, are not helpless. 

Every, soul builded by man or woman in any stage 
of existence exists as long as there is some good in it. 
When it becomes entirely negative and yields time and 
again to positive forces of evil it will become totally 
irresponsible for itself and will eventually have no 
will nor power of its own. 

It has then destroyed itself. It has thrust itself 
asunder and this is the second death which Christ 
warned men to beware of, for he said, "the last state 
of that man is worse than the first." 

God said, "the soul that sinneth it shall die." 

It is a confessional, daily and hourly confessing 
every thought and desire of the mind in living letters 
of fire. There is no erasure. It stands. 

Only the Christ soul can wash it white and dean 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 35 

and lift it to life and truth and beauty, "Wherefore 
let them that suffer according to the will cf God com- 
mit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing as 
unto a faithful Creator. ' '

SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 37 



The Second Birth. 



"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nico- 
demus, a ruler of the Jews. 

"The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto 
him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come 
from God ; for no mam can do these miracles that thou 
doest, except God be with him." 

And Jesus answered and said, "Verily, verily I say 
unto you, except a man be born again he cannot see 
the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said unto him, 
"How can a man be born when he is old? Can he 
enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be 
born?" Jesus answered, "Except a man be born of 
water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom 
of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and 
that which is born of the spirit is spirit. ' ' And Nico- 
demus again said, "How can these things be?" 

This second birth, Jesus explains, must be of the 
spirit. The flesh born of flesh is flesh, but the spirit 
and soul must be born into the understanding of truth, 
goodness, and life. 

This man was a Master, a great man among the 
Jews. He knew many things pertaining to the world 
and government, but he came in darkness, to the man 
cf Light and the words of truth were yet night to him. 



38 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

He knew it was impossible to be born- in the flesh 
again while on earth, and he asked again, "How can 
these things be?" 

And Jesus went on to tell him that, "as Moses lifted 
up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son 
of Man be lifted up." 

And again he explained that men lived in darkness 
because darkness was evil. That the evil hates the 
light and will not come to it because when it comes to 
the light it is destroyed. This light is the realization 
that there is no enjoyment or pleasure in evil deeds. 
Evil loses its power over us when we understand its 
illusions and snares. All evil is night, and darkness. 
The desires and lusts of the flesh is darkness and night 
also, but the truth never comes to man as long as he 
clings to his sensual fleshly desires. Many come seek- 
ing while held in the thraldom of earthly desires as 
did Nicodemus, loath to give up that w T hich has held 
them in bondage so long, but no man can know the 
truth until he is born again — born into the new life of 
purity, truth, and perfection. 

"How can these things be?" 

Jesus said, "the Son of Man must be lifted up." 
He must be lifted up from his state of sin to a state of 
perfection. Jesus Christ was not the only son of God. 
He tells us we are all sons of God. We are a part of 
Him,, a representative, a messenger. We all bear a 
message, if we will but deliver it. This message is 
love, and love is the mother of re-birth. When we 
love that which is good and pure and true we are be- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 39 

ing born again ; born of the spirit. Water here repre- 
sents mind, which goes to show that mind must be 
changed. 

These things, the re-birth — can be by a change of 
mind 1 — change the mentality. If yon are in the habit 
of allowing your mind to drift into thoughts you 
would not speak before others, you are drifting away 
from truth. The mind is the Center. It is the 
creator of the good and the bad. It must be changed 
and the soul is born of the mind, for mind creates or 
builds the soul. 

The soul is really as a huge vessel filled with divers 
cargo. Some truly beautiful things may be stored 
away and again the grossest rubbish. The soul is 
deemed to carry its cargo into port. There are but 
two ports to make — Life or Destruction. Man's re- 
birth begins with himself. He only is able to effect 
it. Others may help him by pointing the way, but he 
must not depend on others if he would grow straight 
and strong. We are all sons of God, and when Christ 
appears, that is when we comprehend what it is to 
become a Christ, "we know we shall be like him, for 
we shall see him as he is." We make no mistake — we 
can see him as he is and we can become like him. 

A great deal of wickedness of the world to-day, has 
been caused by false religious teachings or rather, 
ignorant teaching. Man may have intellect and yet 
be without understanding. 

We have run away from self and left it to take care 
of itself, little knowing that in doing so we have run 



40 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

away from the thing we seek, as did the knights of old 
in King Arthur's time, when they sought the Holy 
Grail. We have turned our backs to the Light and 
faced darkness, striving to pierce through the veil and 
find the sun, when the sun is really within ourselves — 
our soul, for the soul of man is the sun of his body. 

Jesus was born of the flesh and he was also born of 
God, just as we are born of the flesh and can be born 
of God. When we understand the conception of Christ 
we are born again 

The Egyptians and the Initiates of old understood 
the conception of Christ as Osiris. Osiris was the 
name given to the son of the D'eity as we give it the 
name Christ. Osiris was the soul of God — so is Christ. 
Osiris was to them the principle of love, truth, and 
perfection, just as Christ is to us. They taught re- 
birth in the symbols as the birth of the New Year. 
The New Year represented the new or higher life, the 
lifting up of the flesh into the spiritual. Their Isis 
was the mother, the virgin which is the New Year 
giving birth at midnight to the New Sun ( Son) which 
should rule over them. This new birth came from 
death of the flesh (winter) and was lifted up to the 
brightness and glory of the new, pure sun. 

Jesus taught the same thing and demonstrated it. 

He had been taught the mysteries of Moses and of 
the Egyptians for he said, "As Moses lifted up the 
serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of 
Man be lifted up. " This lifting up of the serpent was 
but a symbol — the symbol of life as understood and 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 41 

practiced by the Egyptians and. as taught by them in 
their higher initiation as it is now taught in the Aeth 
Brotherhood or Priesthood. 

Osiris is the true conception of God and so is the 
Christ. 

We must be born again even as the old year dies 
and becomes new again. We may be born also of the 
virgin (purity) and be lifted up as the new sun is 
lifted up to the heavens. 

We must look for the sun or son in ourselves. 

We alone are responsible for what we do. We can 
really harm no one but ourselves. 

When we hate we only send out vibrations that are 
received by a soul and are sent back to our mind only 
to be re-directed to the soul again. This submerges 
our real self with the poison of our own mind, for the 
soul retains the poison and by and by becomes so di- 
luted as to be wholly gross and wicked. 

These thoughts are sometimes so venomous in some 
people that they produce sickness and even insanity. 
We all know that insane persons have violent fits of 
passion and when these occur often they frequently 
cause their death. Many insane persons die just from 
the violence of their own poison's passions. 

The mind taints the soul and the soul taints the 
body, also the mind again, and these lustful, wicked 
thoughts do not always go to the object of their hate— 
they are gathered unto their fathers, the thoughts, or 
minds, which produce them. 

In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells them to 



42 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

beware of thoughts of hate and revenge. If you come 
to the altar of God bringing your gifts of love and 
reverence he says, "Thy brother hath aught against 
thee, leave there thy gifts and be reconciled to thy 
brother and then offer thy gifts." Your gifts are 
thoughts and he says further on, "Thou shalt by no 
means come cut thence, until thou hast paid the last 
farthing. ' ' 

You will pay it by the destruction of your own self 
or soul, for that is the law. Good (or God) cannot 
accept evil gifts — evil can not mix with good. 

These vibrations are separate and cannot be con- 
joined. 

We must look into the self of ours and see it as it is 
and not as we think we are. 

Self is responsible for all things. 

Self creates self and rules self. 

No man can force another man to love him if the 
other man refuses to do so. He may rule over him; 
may command obedience and reverence, but the heart 
of the one may be full of hate and rebellion. The 
physical man may be ruled by the stronger of the 
physical, but the inner self of the individual cannot 
be reached or touched except by himself. 

That which is hated by the soul will never be ac- 
cepted by the soul. Remember that the soul is the re- 
ceiver of all thoughts, good, bad, or indifferent. It 
receives everything sent out by mind, but if the soul 
is pure and strong evil thoughts are rejected unless 
they are created by the individual mind. A hypnotist 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 43 

may destroy another 's soul if the mind is in harmony 
with his own, but if the mind is pure it will not vibrate 
in unison with evil. Therefore, we are without doubt 
the savior or destroyer of our own selves or souls. God 
never created man wrong. Man has done that him- 
self The spark of divinity sent out through all life 
is never utterly destroyed. Man destroys his soul. 
His soul is what lives if he builds it up of strong, 
durable material, but it can be totally destroyed if he 
builds it of rotten timber. God leaves man to create 
his own soul. He may do with it as he wills. It is 
within himself. 

All is individual responsibility. 

When we love our soul we love our real self. If we 
love that self we will not do that which destroys it. 
When we love evil we destroy that real self, because 
we are not loving it as we should. 

We project, cherish and reverence that which we 
love, and we see thousands who are flinging them- 
selves away for the mere glitter of gold, an evil desire, 
or lustful propensities. 

There is something always with you. Something 
you do not see. 

It manifests itself in your every movement and 
action. 

It smiles at you with gentle, caressing tenderness 
andi purity or it leers at you with bold, unseemly 
glare. 

This is the soul. 

Wherever you go it goes. It is within you, drinking 



44 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

of the cup you drink of, eating the fruit you eat of, 
and the soul is your real self. The unawakened soul, 
is in darkness or night. No night can be so dark but 
that it may seek the Christ. 

Though the sins be as crimson they may be made as 
white as snow — the pure thoughts, the longing and 
desire for a purified soul will destroy all that is evil 
and ignoble within you. You owe to the world the 
best that you can give it, and not the worst. Your 
thoughts in your mind portray your attitude toward 
humanity and the world. If you think love, you will 
love and you will build a soul loving and strong. The 
doctrine of Christ is not the outside, superficial cere- 
monies; the Christ is in your heart, your thoughts, 
your mind, your soul. 

To be born again, begin conception by thinking 
kindly, generously, liberally and lovingly of every- 
thing and everybody you meet or come in contact 
with. You are beginning to conceive — the Christ. 

It may be a small seed at first, but if you give it 
life and nourishment it will grow. You must water 
it, feed it and tend it with the thoughts of your mind, 
then when it attains life, it is born— it is your soul 
that is born and is the likeness of its Creator Osiris or 
the Christ. 

All the religions of pretense and hypocrisy cannot 
make the soul beautiful. The true Christianity draws 
you back face to face with what you are. Analyze self 
and find your soul. 

Seek it with sincerity and honesty and you will find 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 45 

out just what you are, if you cannot read its likeness 
in the body. 

The great Tolstoi says, "If we begin to live rightly 
as Christ taught us, we could no longer continue to 
live wrongly," and to begin to live as Christ taught 
we must begin to think as he thought, and when we 
begin to think right we will soon learn to live right. 

Christ is the illumination of the mind and soul. 

Light is the illuminator. 

Darkness cannot illuminate anything. 

Light can illuminate darkness, but darkness can do 
nothing but destroy. 

It was without form and void until the Spirit of 
God moved upon it and illuminated it into soul and 
substance. 

Take self to task for every thought and every word 
spoken. Eliminate the unkindness, the antagonism 
md evil from your mind and the Spirit of Christ will 
illuminate the darkness and you will have understand- 
ing. 

It is latent within you. 

As long as you have mind and can think, the power 
to attain perfection is yours. 

You are the maker and the builder of your soul. 

You can build just as perfectly as did King Solo- 
mon. 

In fact, you are the mother of your soul for it is 
yours to give it birth or re-birth into Christ. 

It may cost you pain and sorrow, but all life-giving 
i§ at first painful, but the joy of offspring brings re- 



46 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



ward for all suffering. 

It costs many a bitter struggle, but the crown of 
illumination is worth it for it will light up all space, 
it is the spirit upon the waters and it brings life 
eternal — immortality. 

Such is the Cfrurch of Illumination, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 47 



The Coming of the Christ. 

The disciples said unto Jesus : "What shall be the 
sign of thy coming ? ' ' 

The Master answered: "Let no man deceive you. 
For many shall come in my name saying, I am the 
Christ; and shall deceive many." 

Scientists of the psychological world have predicted 
that as the world reaches different stages a Messiah or 
a great teacher comes forth from the silence and 
demonstrates truth and the Christ. 

Christ is Truth — He is the Light. Many seem to 
fail to grasp the true meaning or rather, a clear idea 
of what Christ is. 

Christ is the Son of God. 

Christ Was made flesh and dwelt among us and 
Jesus said, he would he with us unto the end. 

Jesus had not attained perfection and supreme 
Christhood until after he overcame the grave — on the 
morning of the resurrection. Jesus the Christ might 
be interpreted more fully by explaining the Christ as 
Soul of God was the Soul of Jesus and Jesus the 
Christ as Jesus the Soul of God (or Good). Christ is 
also the Conception of God. The conception of God 
is the Immaculate Conception. 

Everything createcl is created by mind and con- 



48 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

ceived by the soul. The soul is the womb of the mind. 
It generates all ideas created or produced by the mind. 
The Immaculate Conception is produced or created 
by mind thinking good, right, truth, tenderness and, 
greatest of all, love. 

The truths Jesus taught and demonstrated were not 
new ideas he had discovered and claimed as his own 
power and divine right. His truths w T ere older than 
the world in which he lived. In referring to the 
Christ, he said: "Before Abraham was I am." 

Before Abraham was, Christ was, but not Jesus. 

The Soul of Christ has existed with the beginning 
of the world. We read that the "earth was without 
form and void ; and darkness was upon the face of the 
deep. And the Spirit (Soul) of God moved upon the 
face of the waters." 

Before Abraham was, the soul existed. It was the 
same soul whose likeness Jesus attained and he taught 
all men to strive for this. 

We understand from Biblical writings that Jesus 
had not attained perfect poise and evolvement in 
former reincarnations. There was a stage of develop- 
ment, of poise, and power, he attained in his last in- 
carnation. We know that he studied. He was learned 
in all the laws; he also was tempted and tested and 
tried, which proves that he had some of the material 
yet to overcome, 

His last words upon the cross, "It is finished," 
meant that he had overcome all the desires of the 
flesh and the earth life. He had purified his body 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 49 

until it was at last the temple prepared for the 
supreme Christhood. His soul had become so perfect, 
so pure, so divine, that the material body was able to 
demonstrate what the soul was. Our bodies reflect our 
souls. When the body is maimed or halt or deficient 
in strength and development it but teaches what the 
former life had been. 

Christ is not a man, not a person. Just here is 
where many fall into error and fail to grasp the true 
meaning of the Christ. Christ is Soul — God Soul — or 
Good Soul as some prefer to call it. Jesus was a man 
who demonstrated the power, the perfection, the 
glory, the truth and love of soul, of God soul. 

There are great souls who ccme upon earth as 
Christs, as Messiahs, as Masters, who are embodied 
Christs. This is always possible. Christ is also more 
than Soul. It is the Conscious Soul for when the 
true student reaches a certain stage of development he 
can know the Christ, aye, he can even see, with his 
material eyes in perfect consciousness, the reflection 
of the Christ— of the Soul. 

The Holy Ghost which was within him was the 
knowledge — soul knowledge, he gave, he taught, he 
demonstrated. The power of the Holy Ghost is God 
power, or the knowledge of God, of what God is. It is 
the great light that breaks upon the student when the 
veil is rent asunder. 

Are we able to read now and know the meaning of 
the Christ? 

What is Christ? 



50 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

Christ is the Soul of God (Good). It is the con- 
sciousness of having a soul. It is the absolute knowl- 
edge of having a soul and the divine power of seeing 
the reflection of this soul. 

John tells us that God is Love. The Soul of God, or 
Christ, is the Soul of Love. When we unfold, or de- 
velop the Christ, we are then the soul of love unfolded. 

In accumulating good Ave become one with God, and 
are therefore a part of him created and existing, which 
places us into sonship, soulship. 

Jesus said: "Take heed that no man deceive you; 
for many (men) shall come in my name saying, I am 
Christ; and shall deceive many. 

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false 
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; 
insomuch that if it were possible, they shall deceive 
the very elect. 

"Wherefore, if they say unto you, Behold, he is in 
the desert, go not forth; behold, he is in the secret 
chambers, believe not. 

"For as the lightning (illumination) cometh out of 
the east and shineth even unto the west ; so shall also 
the coming of the Son of Man be. ' ' 

It is very plain. So plain that "a fool cannot err 
therein." Christ does not come with great signs and 
wonders. He told them before that the "hypocrites 
looked for a sign." The Soul of God, which is the 
Christ, comes not with phenomena, and wonders which 
the physical eyes may see, Christ comes as the light- 
ning comes ? by illumination of the darkened mind. As. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 51 

the lightning flashes across the clouded, storm-swept 
sky anl illuminates the vast darkness with positive 
force and light, so is the illumination of the soul, when 
the mincl is purified and developed by the Christ 
power. 

The lightning illustrates illumination. 

There can be no lightning where there is no dark- 
ness and in these days the sun (soul) is darkened, and 
the moon (body, reflection) does not give light, the 
stars (ideas, thoughts) shall fall from heaven, and the 
powers of heaven shall be shaken. 

Heaven is a state of mind. 

It is the good, purified condition of mind. 

There are some to-day who claim to know where the 
Messiah of the age is in preparation to demonstrate 
to the world his Sonship with God. Some say he is in 
the deserts of Arabia or Persia, while others claim he 
is in the secret school of the occult in India. 

But Jesus said he is in the illumination of the 
darkened world, when the heavens are darkened and 
shaken — when pure minds are darkened and shaken 
by false beliefs, christs and prophets. "And then 
shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. ' ' 
The sign of the soul of man— the soul of man appears 
to mind. It can be seen, felt, and known, the Soul of 
Christ, "and then shall all the tribes of the earth 
mourn"— all that is of the earth, the earthly loves and 
desires, the longings of the flesh shall mourn, for with 
illumination, the lustful earthly desires are destroyed, 
and then "they shall see the Son (Soul) of Man com- 



52 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

ing in the clouds of heaven with power and great 
glory." 

"And he shall send his angels with a great sound 
of a trumpet." The understanding and awakening 
to truth. The trumpet is the spirit of light ; angels 
are the awakening of ideas, thoughts, light, the soul 
of gods who are manifested to the soul receiving sight, 
and illumination. There are no signs of soul until 
after illumination. Nothing of the Christ or soul is 
manifested to the physical or material in signs or 
wonders. After illumination the Christ comes. He 
comes to all alike, not outside, but within, when the 
mind is shaken of its false ideas and listens to the 
voice of truth. 

He also prophesied that the generation of signs and 
wonders would not pass away before illumination 
comes, before the seekers for truth shall know that the 
truth dwells within the soul of man and not without, 
in phenomena and signs and wonders. 

No one knows when the souls of men are awakened, 
only the Father, the Christ within them knoAvs. 

"Heaven and earth (mind and flesh) shall pass 
away, but my words shall not pass away/' 

"Therefore, be ye realy, for in such an hour as ye 
think not the Son of Man cometh. " 

"Watch, therefore, for you know not what hour 
your Lord shall come." 

Prepare the mind and purify the soul. Cleanse it 
and make it ready, pure, clean and receptive to the 
positive thoughts of Good, Truth, and Love, for if you 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 53 

make ready the Lord, Christ will dwell within the soul 
and then are you illuminated and are in sonship with 
him who comes before you. 

All men have not had the spiritual or Christ birth 
in the beginning. Men were created by God, but man 
was not as God, all good. Man was God in the flesh. 
When man was entirely spiritual he was with God, 
uncreated. God's Word (desire) made man flesh, and 
not all spiritual, however the desire of God dwells 
within all men. 

The Word (desire) was made flesh and dwelt among 
us. And the flesh knew him not. 

But soul (Christ) knows and can become as God. 
The desire of the mind is the word. A word is a 
thought. The Word of God is the thought of God. 
Therefore, the thought of God became flesh. God is 
the Soul of all and the soul accumulates all thoughts. 
Our bodies are the reflection or likeness of our soul. 
We are the image of our souls. The universe, all with- 
in it, is the accumulated thought of , God — they are 
his body, his image, his reflection, his physical life. 
A desire is a thought, the thoughts are the soul, the 
thought of God is the word, the word is the desire and 
the desire is soul. 

The flesh does not know, dees not recognize the 
soul. The flesh never knows it has soul until soul 
recognizes itself. No man is in any secret place, in 
the monasteries or in the desert preparing to become a 
Christ. The preparation of the Christ is the prepara- 
tion of the soul to receive him and know him. It is the 



54 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

illumination of the mind, soul and body, quietly and 
at an hour when no man knoweth, except the Father 
who will declare him. 

This is the coming of the Christ, the bearer of peace 
and good-will to all men. 

We cannot see God (or soul) at any time unless we 
are begotten (born again) of God. Development of 
the Christ enables us to see and know God. 

John, representing water or mind, is the forerunner. 
Mind conveys an idea to the soul and the soul accepts 
and absorbs the idea. The idea is then transmuted 
into substance and the substance is one part of soul, 
it becoming the greater or lesser part according to 
the force and number of thoughts or ideas that follow, 
for all ideas in harmony with it help to build it. 

The first thoughts or ideas for truth, for something 
tangible and beyond the vague or superstitious, are 
followed with a desire to know and investigate laws 
and theories we have not known. In this way we are 
awakened to the fact that the doctrines and com- 
mandments of men do not explain truth, only in an 
untenable way, and in contradiction and antagonism 
toward all who do not accept their materialistic views. 

Conception is the receiving, the planting of the 
seed. When conception takes place, the germ of life 
is sown. The soul is the receiver, the life moulder, for 
it moulds the thoughts of mind into substance. 

Mary, the mother of Jesus, gave to the world a son 
conceived and born in knowledge and the power of the 
Holy Ghost. The great .mystery of Jesus' conception 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 55 

and birth is contained herein. He was not just born 
as others are born, for Mary knew the Holy Ghost, 
what it was, where it was, and was overshadowed with 
its power. Her knowledge and use of the great truth 
and mystery gave Jesus the Divinity from conception 
and needed only the development. 

Peace comes only with harmony. Peace does not 
dwell in chaos and contradiction and antagonism. 
Christ brings peace on earth and good-will to all, and 
as we draw to soul the substance of peace and good- 
will we draw to us the Christ.

THE GOLTtEN RULE; 
OR LtAW OF KARZMtA. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 57 



The Golden Rule; or Law of Karma. 

"Do unto others as you wish that they should do 
unto you." — The Golden Rule. 

"As ye sow so shall ye reap." — The Law of Karma. 

Karma is the exact Law of Justice and demands 
payment in full for all crimes we may commit and for 
all natural laws that we may break, or that we may 
have broken in every stage of our existence. 

If we break a law, we must suffer for it. That is 
Karma. It is also the great law taught by Jesus. 

We suffer because we have been untrue to our own 
selves. If we commit a crime, we break a law, — a 
divine law which gives every individual freedom and 
rights of which no man has the right to deprive him. 

When we begin to suffer we are then paying back 
Karma. 

Jesus tells us plainly that the Golden Rule is the 
Law of Karma. 

Do unto your neighbor, your friend, your enemy, 
your foe as you would have him do unto you and you 
will build a law of freedom and justice. It is not 
difficult to do unto those whom we love as we would 
wish to be done by, but the great struggle comes when 
we are just and loving toward one who hates us, and 
who would harm us. That is the test. 



58 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

If we had no enemies, if we loved all and all loved 
us, there would be no need of law or justice or the 
Golden Rule. 

We reap just what we sow. The Master taught all 
the principles of the law of sowing and reaping. 

If we sow t thistles and thorns why should we expect 
wheat and corn? There is the higher law, the divine 
law, the law man never made — it is that ive are done 
by, as we do. 

We came into the world (Did you ever stop to think 
of it?) because we loved it. We came of our own free 
will. God never made anything and placed it where 
it did not belong or did not wish to go. We were 
drawn earthward because we loved {desired) it. It- 
was a part of us always and we a part of it. When we 
dwelt in the soul sphere as a divine thought, before 
we became flesh we were a part of all life. That is 
why we became flesh. Thus were we wrought in the 
image of our Maker. 

No man ever suffered for being good. 

We suffer because we have done wrong. The body 
may suffer, we may be persecuted and scourged in the 
flesh but the soul never suffers for right doing. 

There is a law for everything. 

Some say, "I have suffered only through others." 
Jesus suffered, not because of his sins, but because of 
others. Yet the soul of Jesus never suffered. Why 
did he reap persecutions and injustice when he sowed 
seeds of love, justice and mercy? He did not reap 
injustice or persecutions— he reaped eternal life. He 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 59 



overcame all enmity because he sowed the seeds that 
bore fruit of life. He lifted himself up. He said, 
"If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me," and 
those who in ignorance helped to lift him up thought 
they were destroying him. 

The blind human hates, and greed and envy think 
they can destroy life. They can destroy no life except 
their own. 

We are done by as we do. If we do an unkind or a 
wicked act we draw unkindness and wickedness to us. 
We surround ourselves with the atmosphere of human 
minds. Some one is wicked to us. We deserve it 
because we have done so unto another. 

"Beware of false prophets," the Master warns us, 
"for by their fruits ye shall know them." 

The words we speak, the acts we commit, the 
thoughts we think make the human tree. 

A good, pure thought never produced an evil, 
wicked act. A good, pure mind does not accumulate 
thoughts of envy, wickedness, hate, jealousy and 
malice. 

Can you not see why you reap evil when you feel 
assured that you were not always good ? 

If a man were to strike you for doing him a good 
turn, if he abuses you and is ungrateful and unkind, 
he does not hurt you. 

If you have been kind and loving to one and that 
one hates you, he has not hurt you, he has not con- 
demned you, nor destroyed you, but he is slowly but 
surely destroying his own self. 



60 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

You say, "No one can think and do good all the 
time." 

There have been few, but Jesus said, "Let the tares 
and the wheat grow together until the harvest. ' ' Until 
the soul awakens and knows itself. Then, "Gather 
together first the tares and bind them into bundles to 
burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn." 

One by one we are able to gather together the tares, 
which are only evil thoughts and evil deeds. We 
separate the good from the bad and store it away unto 
Christ, the soul. 

If we do unto others as much as we know right, we 
are gathering the good together. 

We do not always do right as well as we know. Few 
sin in blindness and ignorance. 

The wicked are not always blind, they know the 
wickedness. They know within themselves, in their 
own hearts, and they are wicked because they love the 
evil. 

Lid you ever stop to think, to reason, that an evil 
thought of any kind, whether it be envy, jealousy, 
hate, or lust, is but a snare to destroy your soul ? It is 
a poison. You drink the thing that kills you, that 
stabs you in the back, in the dark, when you harbor 
evil thoughts. 

Jesus demonstrated all the laws of love and kind- 
ness. They have called him, ' ' that great serene man. ' ' 
He was serene and calm when every evil force in the 
world was arrayed against him, but Jesus knew. 

Every pleasure that usurps duty or honor or truth 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 61 



is a destroying archangel. 

Lustful, sensual pleasures, the keen thrill of delight 
over an enemy's downfall are illusions of the evil 
ones. 

All evil comes from the mind. It is born of the 
mind, created by mind. 

Sin creeps in through broken laws. 

Man disobeyed divine law. 

Man dies if he continues breaking them. He de- 
stroys both soul and body. 

Every time we are unkind, we break the law of 
kindness. 

Every time we lie we break the law of truth, and we 
are not truth, we are liars. 

Every time we hate we break the law of love. We 
are not love, we are hate and our companions of 
thought are hate, envy, malice, and jealousy. Thus 
are we done by as we do. 

We are what we think, and each of these thoughts 
is held by the soul and becomes a part of the soul. 

In this way do we build the soul. 

The only way to destroy evil is to quit thinking it. 

If an evil thought creeps into the mind, replace it 
with a kind thought. Transmute it. 

We have no right to force another to our own 
opinions of right and wrong. We know the law. Per- 
suade men only according to divine laws. 

We have no right to demand of another what he is 
not willing to give. 

If we are kind and loving toward all our fellow* 



62 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

men, if we give out tenderness and truth, we build all 
within our souls. If men do not appreciate all this 
kindness and love, if they persecute and condemn us, 
why should we care? We are building soul and no 
one but ourselves can reach our own soul. 

This is a world of souls. God does not stop and 
hate because evil hates Him. God goes on loving, 
demonstrating goodness, peace and happiness, and all 
that is evil cannot destroy all that is good. 

To fight and struggle against the good does not de- 
stroy it. We destroy only what is within us, thus 
reaping what we sow. 

When we see a righteous man suffer from the deeds 
and thoughts of evil doers, he does not reap what they 
sow. His soul climbs on upward with every thought 
and act of love. 

He is lifting himself up and will draw all men unto 
him. 

Analyze your thoughts before you think them. 

Are you justified in hating any one, no matter 
what they have done to you or wish to do to you ? 

Each thought they think builds their soul, not 
yours. 

Thoughts are seeds. They ripen into fruit and 
grain accordingly as they are sown. 

Karma is reaping what you have sown and not what 
some one else has sown for you. 

You do not reap from another's sowing unless you 
think it. 

Ignorance does not excuse us, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 63 

There are few so ignorant of right and wrong, of 
good and evil, that they sin in blindness. 

The wicked are not blind, nor ignorant. 

They are violent because they love violence. 

They are in darkness because they love darkness 
and the sins darkness breeds. 

We all cling to what we love. Evil clings to evil 
because it loves evil. 

We have all the rules, all the laws, of righteousness 
in the Gospels. Jesus taught them to us. "Love ye 
one another." "Bear ye one another's burdens." 
"Do unto others as you would be done by." 

Man needs no other laws. If he follows these he 
will accomplish the highest man can attain. "Love 
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, 
and with all thy strength and with all thy mind, and 
thy neighbor as thyself." 

To love another as we love self requires much perse- 
vering, much strength, much mind, much soul, some- 
times, but the more strength and mind, and soul we 
have, the greater is our capacity for loving. 

It is easy to love those who love us, who are good 
and kind and gentle with us, because love begets love 
and when we meet with love it is an easy thing to 
respond. 

Note how hard it is to go to the outcast, the man 
who is deliberately destroying his own soul and body, 
and call this man brother. 

We have read of the man who went down Jericho's 
road and MI among thieves, who stopped him iukI 



64 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



stripped him, and wounded him, and left him to die, 
but we little realize what this Jericho road means. 
There are few of us w r ho have not fallon on the same 
eld Jericho road. We are daily traveling that road 
and the thieves are waiting to strip us of life and 
strength and all that we have. Little does man reckon 
that the sinful desires of his heart are the greatest 
robbers and thieves he has to contend with. 

They are the most subtle and cunning for they know 
the weakness in the strongest locks and bolts. Who 
ever partook of a sinful pleasure and was satisfied for 
any length of time ? Sin keeps demanding more and 
more because it soon loses taste of the pleasure it 
enjoys for the moment. 

It is restless and ever seeking — like the wicked spirit 
in the Bible— "it seeketh rest and findeth none" — it 
is constantly drawing, sapping, and seeking, taking 
all and giving nothing. 

This is one of the thieves of the Jericho road. 

A priest came down that way, and when he saw him, 
he passed by on the other side. 

Do you know what this priest is? Do you know 
who the man going down Jericho road is ? 

The man is the soul journeying against the desires 
of the flesh; the priest is the bigoted self-righteous 
mind that refuses to see and care for the wounded, 
struggling soul. It is your own mind, by the way, 
which loves the world better than soul, which is heart- 
less, cold, and unmoved by suffering. 

A Leyite came by and paused a while and looked on. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 65 

him, but lie also passed on the other side. The Levite 
dwells in many proud, haughty, self-righteous minds 
which stop only long enough to satisfy curiosity and 
then passes on its accustomed, distainful and vain- 
glorious way. 

But the good Samaritan is he whose mind is full of 
love and kindness, who will minister to the needs of 
the soul, who will listen and hearken to its cries of 
distress for freedom and for rest. 

This is the mind which thinks and does kind, 
righteous acts without thought of reward. 

The Christ mind does not seek reward. It does not 
seek glory — it only does its duty to its own soul and 
to others. It does unto others as it would be done by. 

Jesus lived the truth for us so that we might profit 
by his deeds, his works, his words. 

In the beginning he realized that man, as soul, can- 
not exist on the material breath of life. Worldly 
fame, glory, and splendor will not construct a soul 
that will live. It is building on the sands, for matter, 
or material does not exist long in one form. Soul only 
lives. Therefore we must build soul if we would build 
on the rock, if we would live. 

There are many different kinds of souls. 

There are material souls, selfish souls, jealous souls, 
envious, malicious and dishonest souls, but these souls 
do not exist forever. They are either purified and 
lifted up or they are destroyed by the mind that 
creates them. 

God does not destroy evil souls j they destroy them- 



66 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

selves. 

The soul that sinneth, it shall Me. 

Fire and brimstone will destroy and burn rip but 
the fire and brimstone that destroys the soul is the 
evil mind that consumes and destroys the soul by its 
evil thoughts sent surging through it. 

God dees not hold evil. God does not equalize evil 
and walk hand in hand with it. The good in a man's 
soul either counter-balances the evil or the evil 
counter-balances the good. The soul may reach a 
stage where it is momentarily half good and half bad, 
but it cannot long remain so, for it will go on building 
on one side or the other and so one overcomes the 
other. 

In following the example of the Nazarene we soon 
learn to counter-balance evil and so build the soul ac- 
cording to his precepts. 

Love ye one another and do unto others as you 
would have others do unto you, and the Karmic laws 
of the past are null and void. 

The robes are washed and made clean, the sins, 
though as crimson, are white as snow. 

John, in Revelations, tells us that those who wear 
the robes of white are those who overcome many 
errors. Man does not answer for the sins of others 
nor for the wickedness and hate of those who hate him. 
No man is so good as to never fall. The good man is 
tempted and tried even more, a thousand times more, 
than the evil man. He may fall many times also, but 
he comes up from all these trials and tribulations and 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 67 

makes himself clean. 

Trials we may have without sin and tribulations 
also, but the man who has sinned deeply and who be- 
comes strong enough to triumph over all that besets 
him is just as worthy as the man or woman who never 
sinned, were that possible. 

He that is strong enough to cleanse his soul and 
build it over in the image of good, righteousness and 
love, is as great as he who never built evil into his 
soul. He can attain as much, he can become as pure 
as though he had never sinned, and Karma is over- 
come or worked out through his suffering. 

All the tares he may have sown are gathered to- 
gether and burned up by the might and struggles of 
his own soul's fire, and the wheat is gathered together 
and bears fruits of righteousness within his soul. 

The law of Karma is — you reap ivliat you sow, 
either at once or in the long distant future, perhaps in 
another incarnation. 

No man can hope to sow evil and reap good, to do 
wicked deeds and inherit law and peace. 

Karma is just always. It produces just what is 
sown, sooner or later. 

Do as you would be done by is to escape from the 
bondage of evil Karma,

The Judgment. 



"The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he 
seeth the Father do; for what things soever he doeth 
these also doeth the Son likewise." 

"The Father judgeth no man but hath committed 
all judgment unto the Son." 

Who is the Father and who is the Son ? 

When we have seen the Father we will have seen 
the Son, for the Father and Son are one. 

When we are born again — regenerated, when the 
soul is cleansed of all its uncleanness and enters into 
unity with the Father, it is then the Son of God. It 
has attained Sonship or Christhood. It seeth the 
things the Father (God) doeth, for understanding is 
given and the spiritual eyes are opened to perceiving 
spiritual things. Those who have attained Sonship 
do the will of the Father and are like Him, express- 
ing godliness, tenderness, mercy and truth in all 
thoughts, actions, words and works. And as the eyes 
of the young man of olden times were opened by the 
prayers of Elisha, so also are the eyes of those born 
blind with material and worldly blindness opened by 
the desires and prayers of the soul. 

When desire is sent charging through the soul from 
the mind and our eyes begin to see a glimmer of the 



70 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

truth and where and what truth is, then the great day 
of judgment has come. And in those days "shall the 
sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, 
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers 
of the heavens shall be shaken." These are the days 
of trials and tribulations, for all looks dark to us, the 
material splendor of the worlds which have been the 
brightness of life to us begin to fade and are darkened. 
The moon of all glitter and promise of fame and 
power loses its brightness. Stars indeed fall — those 
stars that have lured us on in quest of earthly 
pleasures and dreams, these shall fall and the powers 
of all heaven shall be shaken, for even the soul is 
shaken to its utmost when it passes judgment upon 
itself. 

For dees not Jesus tell us that, "the Father judgeth 
no man but hath committed judgment upon the Son." 

Every son of God judges himself. He judges every 
word, every thought, every act and every deed of him- 
self. 

When you turn away from false beliefs, evil and 
sensual desires and selfishness, you have repented of 
sin and have confessed the Christ. Then judgment, 
cold, stern, and severe, takes its stand and we pay the 
last farthing. 

"Thou shalt in no means come out from them until 
thou hast paid the last farthing." 

This is the day when the sign of the Son of Man 
shall appear in heaven. It is the sign of the Ovist's 
coming, that great judgment day we await with such 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 71 

fear and trembling. 

The soul stands as a record and confessor of all 
ages past. We see it face to face and know where we 
are and what we have been. 

We see what we have built, — a useless shell or husk 
or a beautiful, durable mansion, like as Jesus told us 
w T ere in the Father's house'. 

It may be to-day or it may be to-morrow with us, 
but it is always here with us and within us and is not 
some great, terrible, distant event. 

When this day comes it should be a day of rejoicing, 
for man should rejoice to find' himself — his soul. Man 
in reality is soul. The flesh, the body only manifests 
soul. 

The words, the actions, the deeds, the works, they 
are the soul manifested. 

"Have I done right— have I done wrong?" you ask 
yourself, and the soul answeres. It answers you in 
all you have done, all you have accumulated for the 
soul, as one has said, is the "accumulated experience 
of man." His experience has been what his mind de- 
sired and thought upon, and as he dwells upon his 
past experience, analyzing them and thrusting good 
and bad apart, he is the judge. It is the good in man, 
the longing to attain godhead which gives him the 
power to so judge himself. The small god (or good) 
just awakening into life within him, within his soul, 
is the Son, the infant Christ passing judgment. 

"And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn." 
All the desires and clinging steadfastness of flesh and 



72 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

evil mourn this day. 

They will come forth stronger than ever, tearful, 
pained and suffering, but this is the suffering one 
must count with joy. 

At this stage of judgment we are condemned or 
saved, we are thrust out into the darkness or we 
ascend towards the throne of God, clothed in the 
whiteness of spiritual truth and wisdom. 

How do we condemn ourselves? 

By refusing to allow the Spirit to descend upon us. 
By Claiming unity and sympathy with the lusts of the 
flesh. By refusing to give up the material and worldly 
splendors and desires for the spiritual. 

But when we so judge ourselves and turn away then 
we shall see the ' ' Son of Man coming in the clouds of 
heaven with power and great glory. And his angels 
shall come with a great sound of a trumpet, and they 
shall gather together his elect from the four winds of 
heaven, from one end of heaven to the other." This 
is the soul awakened in the likeness of the Christ. 

It can be seen. 

It can be seen in great power and glory and all its 
goodness, all its thoughts of righteousness and purity, 
of love and unselfishness are gathered together from 
mind, soul, body and earth, from one end of heaven to 
another, and it passes on into sonship, judged 
righteously by the Son, who sees as the Father and 
doeth the thing the Father doeth. 

Do you know, do you fully understand that every 
thought you think, every word you have spoken (good 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 73 

and ill), every action and every deed is recorded in- 
delibly in the soul? The soul is the Lamb's Book of 
Life, and in it the names of those who come up from 
the pits of earth's darkness, illusions and snares are 
written. 

When we see the soul, know where it is and what it 
is, then we are able to read and know as we are known. 

Ah, perhaps pages are written there that will bring 
the scalding tears of shame and remorse to your eyes. 

It is better so. It is good for you when these tears 
come, for then you are beginning to see and are being 
judged by righteous judgment. 

When these tears refuse to come, when man feels no 
pain, no remorse over the picture of evil and darkness 
before him, he has not repented. The past belongs to 
the past and we need not dwell upon past sins and 
become discouraged and hopeless, but the past is never 
dead until it is judged by the spirit or the soul. 

Then we must rise up from the troubled waters and 
walk in newness of life. 

When we do this the sins of the ages and the past 
experiences of all time and of this life belong to us 
no more. We have washed our robes and made them 
white in the blood of the Lamb— which is the Life of 
the Christ. Blood is the symbol of Life ; the Lamb is 
the symbol of Christ. 

When we have done this — when we have washed the 
soul in purity and godliness, we stand "before the 
throne of God, and serve Him day and night in the 
temple (the body is the temple of the Living God) ; 



74 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



and He that sitteth on the throne shall dwell with us. 
And we shall hunger no more, neither thirst any 
more." 

"For the Lamb (Christ) which is in the midst of 
the throne (the soul) shall feed us and shall lead us 
unto living fountains of water and God shall wipe 
away all tears from our eyes." 

It makes no difference how dark the past may have 
been, perhaps the record of many ages, many lives 
stand before you, but remember the Master said, 
"Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them 
like snow." 

It is all within one's own self and power. 

One can develop and blot out all that is recorded 
against him if he so wills or desires. 

The past has no power when enlightenment and 
understanding comes. Christ purines all. Has Christ 
no power, that one must be forever paying back a 
past Karma? 

All past Karmas can be wiped out forever with the 
attainment of the Christ. 

For "God himself will be with them, and be their 
God." There is no more crying for earthly things* — 
no more hunger for the fruits of the evil and of flesh, 
and we shall thirst no more for the waters of illusion 
and desires, for these things shall all pass away. 

"He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and 
I will be his God, and he shall be my son." 

When we read the records of the Soul of Jesus 
which was the Christ we are not blinded bv vague 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 75 

theories and speculations as to truth. 

No laws are laid down for man to follow except the 
laws of right. 

He- said, "Follow me,"— 'Do the works that I 
do, ' ' and he also said, ' ' Greater works than these can 
ye do, because I go unto my Father." 

Is it possible for those who bear his name in truth 
and in spirit and who are the image of the Father, to 
do greater works than Jesus the Christ has done? 
Jesus said it could be so, and God says, "He that 
overcometh shall inherit all things." 

We know when we have overcome. We know when 
we are tempted whether we resist. We are able at all 
times to judge right from wrong, good from evil. No 
man was ever so helpless, so blind that he could not 
distinguish between right and wrong, or between duty 
and desire. 

Desire is strong because the flesh is strong. 

It is strong because it is visible. Yet we have not 
always known that the flesh, the desires of the flesh, 
are in truth the desires of the soul and the mind. 

Analyze the mind and pass judgment upon your 
soul. 

What do you think? 

What have you thought ? 

In remembering that the soul is the accumulated 
experience of man? 

The soul when seen betrays the experiences of its 
past existence. 

How far can the eyes see when once awakened to the 



76 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

truth ? Responsibility rests upon us here, now, in the 
life on earth, not off it. The God within you cries out 
for unf oldment, or development ; it struggles for free- 
dom, for expression, and within yourself is all power 
and the only power capable of answering and leading 
onward to perfection and peace. 

All conditions you live in, mental, moral, or physi- 
cal, you have builded for yourself. 

Soul is your real self. 

An evil man is really an evil soul. 

An evil thinking mind builds an evil, black soul. 

Unbelief, disbelief, mistrust, harsh and cruel judg- 
ment of others, whose souls you do not know and can- 
not see, builds just such a soul. 

And the soul remains ever a living testimonial for 
or against you. That is the reason the Master said, 
"Judge not lest ye be judged." 

Blinded eyes cannot see the sun before them nor all 
the beauties of life, neither can the blind soul see the 
brightness of goodness and truth about them nor the 
beautiful life of the Christ. 

Mind rules the world. It rules because all it. builds 
lives in the soul. Not one soul but many souls. Every 
man, woman and child are building, building a world 
of souls. We see cities fall and the earth torn asunder 
by upheavals of violence and the tides of the seas. 
People shudder and tremble. And there are wars and 
rumors of wars and nations prepare to rise against 
nation. Preparations are ever being made to guard 
and protect one against the other, all the time minds 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 77 



and thoughts and actions are defiantly hurling vibra- 
tion after vibration of antagonism and aggression one 
against the other. And we wonder why there is no 
peace. 

We wonder why an empire fell or a city was de- 
stroyed. We do not recognize that it is in reality 
judgment of souls. We make the world. It is a dwell- 
ing place for souls. 

The evil soul is heavier than a pure soul just as 
muddy, stagnant water is heavier than the clear, pure 
spring water. 

A coarse brain is heavier than a finer fibered one. 
The thoughts it contains makes it coarse or fine. The 
coarse and the gross of all material, whether of mind, 
matter or merchandise, is heavier than that which is 
purified and refined. In the process of making sugar 
we can readily understand that the refining process it 
undergoes makes it lighter, finer and sweeter. 

It is so with the soul. 

A pound of beets will not make a pound of sugar. 
The coarse, crude material must be refined out. 

Thus coarse, gross vibrations or thoughts of the 
mind are heavier than purer thoughts of love, good- 
will and truth. Where many evil souls congregate 
together there is more weight on the earth. So an 
evil nation is destroyed by its own power and force, 
by its own mental laws, disobedience and crimes. 

Jesus said, "He that looketh upon a woman to lust 
after her is guilty of adultery. " He is guilty because 
his nyincl is an adulterous, lustful mind, 



78 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



That mind builds an adulterous, lustful soul. 

That soul lives and bears record. All deeds, acts, 
thoughts, are written to be read when judgment comes 
and registers for or against us. 

11 Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see 
God," 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 79 



The Awakened Sou!. 

As the dawn of morning breaks with the rising of 
the sun, so do the first faint beams of truth herald 
the rising day of illumination. 

When the soul sits shrouded in the dusky folds of 
the twilight or orthodoxy which leads only into deeper 
darkness and night, it hungers and thirsts, groping in 
blindness, unsatisfied, for something alive, real and 
solid. 

The clouded, far away, unseen, unknowable God is 
not the G-od that comes to us and dwells with us in 
close kin and companionship. 

How can we love a thing that we dare not touch- 
something too far away and too good for us? 

Such teachings have given us a great, stern, majes- 
tic, masculine being, who cannot accept cur poor, 
pitiful, helpless, blundering love, no matter how much 
it may be, because we are unworthy of His notice and 
consideration. How can we even attain happiness and 
perfection under such rulership ? 

How can we know the needs of humanity — the 
heart of humanity, if we look away from earth and 
search among the clouds, beyond all ken for some- 
thing that will not respond to our woeful cry for help 
and succor! 



80 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

God the Father is with us. 

The Father dwells with his children, loves them and 
protects them. 

The love of God is greater than all other love and is 
as the parent's love, for God is Father and Mother of 
all. Therefore, as Father and Mother He dwells right 
with us — in the midst of us, among his children. 

We need not look away from earth to find God. If 
we do we will not see Him for He is here with us, 
around us, tvithin us. He is us. He is "the word 
made flesh," and dwells among us. 

We all bear his likeness more or less. Some have 
gotten so far away and journeyed so long with 
strangers, strange gods and false beliefs, that they 
have lost much of His likeness, His resemblance, but 
it is somewhere within us all. It is in the better part 
of us. That which is best in us bears the likeness of 
God. It may be dim and blurred and almost faded, 
but the good that is within, desired, still retains a re- 
semblance to the Father. 

The earth is the body of God, just as we are the 
body of our souls. Our souls have more than one 
body. We create and build a soul and then we create 
life to dwell forever in the soul. The soul is a living, 
breathing, deathless thing when awakened. 

The Christ soul never dies. 

When the soul first desires something more than it 
finds in the current teachings it has then begun its 
conception, the conception of truth — Christ. 

As it searches it begins to grow — it accumulates-—' 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 81 

and builds up its life ; it is then born anew — again. 

It opens its eyes to the life of Christ and is a son 
of God. 

Then, as it begins to walk, to lisp, to learn, it takes 
on the likeness of its parents and dwells ever with 
them. The Christ-born soul seeks God in all about it. 
Nor does it lose sight of the fact that it has many 
brothers and sisters who are all of the same family. 
The brotherhood of man, what is it? 
It is recognizing the fact that we are all of one 
parent, one family. 

The awakened soul grasps the great truth as it 
slowly unfolds to the brightness of the Christ within. 
Unfcldment comes as the blush comes to the rose. 
Watch it grow and read the mystery of the un- 
folded soul. 

Gradually, serenely, naturally it responds to the 
warm, subtle rays of the sun. It responds, it yields 
to the influence and magnetism, and its beautiful 
crimson color comes from its rays and bears the exact 
image of the sun. Within its center is the white light 
of purity, around this, as if to shield it over, is a 
circle of gold, while the petals borrow the crimson 
from the outer corona, the one which is nearest to 
mankind and which is the representation of love. This 
is the secret and the symbol of the Rosicrucian Rosy 
Cross, the sun representing the Son of God, blending 
and moulding humanity into responsive being. 

The awakened soul sees and reads all mysteries of 
nature with unerring accuracy. 



82 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

Let thy soul unfold gently, slowly, and you will 
know the secrets of the soul. There is the knowledge 
of the ages stored up within it and the reading of the 
secrets may be an easy task when you have learned to 
read. 

Too many force the way to unfoldment or the 
awakening. This is bad. It retards growth and some- 
times balks it entirely. 

Clear the mind of all evil, sensual thoughts. 

Desire that which is pure and holy. 

Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they 
shall see God." 

It is not necessary to wait for an imaginary resur- 
rection day, afar off and terrible, to see God. 

The pure in heart see God daily, and as Job said, 
"In my flesh shall I see God," so do they who are 
pure in mind see God, while in the flesh. All flesh is 
God for the "word became flesh and dwelt among us," 
but when we look far away beyond the within how can 
we see what we thrust behind us ? 

God is in us. 

God is in our thoughts, our hearts, our minds, when 
we purify the mind and make it a fit companion for 
the thoughts of God. 

All thoughts are companions. 

We associate in the thought world with the com- 
panions most agreeable to us just the same as we as- 
sociate with them on the physical plane. We cannot 
hold thoughts of hatred and violence toward our 
fellow-men and then be fit companions for GocL When 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 83 

individuals read their own souls and come to an 
understanding of what they owe to themselves and the 
world in general then will peace come, and the 
Brotherhood of Man will be universal. 

"Love thine enemy as thyself — love them that hate 
you/' for "even the hypocrites know enough to love 
those wdio love them." 

Do not covet anything that is thy neighbor's. 

When Jesus told his disciples to "love thy neighbor 
as thyself," they asked, "Who is my neighbor?" The 
person who lives next door is not always neighborly, 
and sometimes friends are far away and this thought 
came into their minds, when they asked the question. 

The Master explained in the parable of the Good 
Samaritan, and it left no doubt in their minds. It is 
easy to understand that the man whose soul is loving, 
strong and sympathetic is the neighborly man. 

He who extends the helping hand in time of need is 
the neighbor. Friends and neighbors are easy to have 
when one is always successful and needs ask for noth- 
ing. It is when the time of need comes that the friend 
makes himself known. 

So with the man going Jericho road, so with the man 
of to-day. The compassionate heart is needed here, 
now, and with the awakening of the soul comes the 
desire to benefit all mankind far and near, for we then 
understand what we are to each other. Help others 
and others will help you. 

Man is ruled by the hidden desires of his heart. 

Thoughts are not invisible onlv to the sleeping soul 



84 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMOKTALITY. 

They are the betrayers — the Judas Iscariots — that 
stealthily come in the night for thoughts soon manifest 
themselves in one way or another. 

Soon the awakened soul knows its thoughts. 

It does not require many efforts to subdue the will 
and think as we will to think. 

The awakened soul has understanding. 

Good and evil go in vast processions beside us. We 
know both — know the false from the true, the good 
from the evil. 

Thoughts clamor to be heard. We hear only what 
we will to hear and what we hear we think. 

The ears must listen to that which is fit only for 
gods to hear. . The eyes see only that which is fit for 
gods to see. The tongue speaks only that which is fit 
for gods to speak. 

Kindness becomes more than kindness for we know 
in awakening what it is to be kind. 

We cease to ask for things when we begin to know, 
for we realize that receiving depends on the giving. 
If we give out little how can we ask for much ? If the 
sun's rays were less strong and penetrating it would 
draw less moisture from the earth. The more we give, 
the more we receive, for we draw to us according to 
our power and strength, as we give out. 

We are able to discriminate between good and evil, 
right and wrong. The soul awakened cannot make 
many mistakes in giving. Give as we have to give, 
and that is not much. We give just what we have to 
give, no more, no less, Love, tenderness, goodness. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 85 

mercy and truth, we give of each as much as we pos- 
sess. It is hard for us to give up the self we have be- 
come so infatuated with. 

Accepting the new and renouncing the old fills us 
with bitter pain and a great melancholy seizes us as 
we bid farewell to the illusions of the flesh that have 
held us so long entranced with their glamor. 

We cling to the old until we realize the utter im- 
possibility of its conformity to the new- — the rousing 
and awakening. We see, we must see in spite of all 
former darkness, that the thoughts, the mind, the de- 
sires, are the moulders, the makers, the finishers of our 
destiny. When we realize the fact that we must con- 
tinue to remain awake and alive to our consciousness 
if we go on Christward, we then find it easier to re- 
nounce former ties and material loves. 

Pain and suffering are the first warnings of the 
birth of a new life in the material sense. 

It also follows to the mental plane for it is seldom 
that we change opinions, long fostered and believed 
without a struggle accompanied by pain and disap- 
pointment. Yet we sacrifice only that which we have 
no use for. We must outgrow a thing we really have 
no use for. It does not fit, so why need we try to 
wear it. 

Re-birth or awakening into new life and under- 
standing fastens its pangs of travail upon us stronger 
than mental or physical, for it is hard to mould our- 
selves into new conditions. Yet, when the dawn is 
over us and the understanding is full upon us, when 



86 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

we view the past beliefs as we view a passing cloud we 
hail the new birth, the awakening of the dawn as we 
view the rainbow in the summer sky. 

Peace, the archangel of life eternal, is ours. We 
know how to appreciate that which comes through 
struggle. But we are prepared now for the struggles 
to come. We know what the Master knew now, that 
the struggle brings its reward. We are not alone — we 
see where others have trod the weary pathway and 
entered into peace and understanding. 

We throw aside the crown of thorns and accept the 
halo of light and understanding. We know why men 
have failed — and we love more because we understand 
more. 

The awakened soul is the understanding soul. 

It understands that here on earth is duty or we 
would not be here on earth. 

We are placed here for a purpose, a divine reason. 

There is God's work here to do — here among us, and 
imtfoift us. 

We must do this work daily if we would continue on 
the way. We dare not turn back — the conscience will 
lash us in twain. 

We have become able at this stage to see the mote 
within our own eye. We see what we are and Avhat we 
have been. Little by little the darkness fades and con- 
sciousness expands. We see the likeness in all, every- 
where. God's man is here creating, fulfilling, and 
finishing his destiny ; not with sighs and moans but 
with sincere, good-will and earnestness. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 87 

No more unworthy to be called the child of a King — 
we know who and what we are and we claim our 
heritage with joy. 

The awakened soul is happy. It speaks joy and 
happiness as it journeys on. Negative morbidness is 
thrust out and the spirit of optimism wafts in. 

Why not? Go onward with a song — the song of 
Christ — of cheer and good-will, of hope and life eter- 
nal. There is no sorrow, no pain, no death for the 
awakened, responsive, receptive souls. 

It illuminates as far as it is itself illuminated and 
all its surroundings are filled with its light. 



88 SOU!, SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 




THE SOUL 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 89 



THE SOUL. 

The quality of the soul depends upon the quality of 
the mind. A pure, God-like, gentle, trusting mind 
creates a pure, God-like, gentle, trusting soul, and 
through all ages, through all eternity, the soul stands. 
It is our judge. It is our betrayer. It is our savior. 

If we have attained a slight degree of perfection in 
goodness and truth, it will live forever in the soul. It 
cannot be destroyed unless we destroy it by encom- 
passing it as the walls of Jericho were encompassed by 
a host of Philistine lords of evil. It is a picture 
painted by an artist — it unerringly portrays every 
feature in bold, trite accuracy and we stand judged 
by ourselves — we are betrayed and convicted by our 
own selves, or we stand in triumphant victory if we 
judge ourselves righteous. When the soul reveals it- 
self and we are able to see and read aright we know 
what we are. As though a veil were lifted and we see 
beyond the far, dim, musty past where in ages of 
blindness and egotism we have built just what we are. 
The record is there. We have kept it. It is not 
blurred nor broken. It is plain, unchanging and true. 
Far better is it for a man to lose the whole world than 
to lose his own soul. When the soul is lost then all is 
lost. 



90 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

A perverted mind produces a perverted soul. 

An abnormal mind produces an abnormal soul. 

An unnatural mind produces an unnatural soul. 

What the mind is, the soul will be. 

When you think certain thoughts you form or mould 
a picture of your thoughts and this picture lives, for 
it has life. It is a thing — it is real. It is yours to con- 
demn you when the hour of judgment comes, or it is 
the Redeemer whose presence you have not known. 
When you stand upon the summit of earthly desires, 
clothed only in the husks of mortal flesh, without one 
white light of soul to hold you from the deep, dark 
precipice of death, you are lost. 

But no matter how tiny the spark, if it is there it 
will kindle and flame into life if you turn away., 
Neophyte, turn from the illusions of the senses, the 
flesh, the earth earthly. 

God dwells everywhere, in all life. God is not be- 
hind a veil. He is not shrouded in a veil of mystery — 
He is everywhere. He seeks to be known. We wear 
the veil — not God. We do not see Him, only because 
we are blind. 

Because we cannot see, we say God is beyond, is un- 
known, or unknowable. But when we break away 
from illusions, senses, and the flesh we find Him know- 
able and known. We see Him as He is and we know 
Him and we know that we are like Him ; that we are 
a reflection of His Soul, His Body; 

We know that as the sun is the soul of the universe, 
so must He be the Creator, the Father of the Universe, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 9 1 

He is the mind, the sun is the soul, and the universe 
is the body — the reflector of mind and sun. 

The sun is the magnetic force. It draws from the 
Creator the strength, and the life forces that exist in 
all things. We are but the reflections of the Soul of 
God — the image, the likeness. Christ is the Son (or 
Sun). Christ is the Soul of the Creator — God. When 
we take on the likeness of Christ we reflect the Soul of 
God. This is the Immaculate Conception — the Holy 
Ghost born in the manger. 

When we break away from the illusions and love of 
the earth, when we begin to long for a pure heart, a 
purified soul, we have planted the seeds of conception. 
When we begin to grow into goodness, truth, and 
virtue, we are preparing for birth — the birth of 
Christ. And as the three ancient wise men were led 
across deserts and seas, so may our mind, our soul, our 
body bow in reverence and thanksgiving before the 
babe, the Christ of our own soul, the Saviour of all 
men. We descern the lowliness of the habitation of 
flesh — the manger of Bethlehem. At His feet we lay 
our choicest gifts and return, each unto our own 
country, where no illusions of the kings of earthly de- 
sires have power to destroy the Holy Child, the Christ 
within us. 

All that Jesus was, we can be. Within him was 
fostered the seed of the Christ— within him was born 
the Son of God; within him, grown into maturity, was 
the Saviour of the world. He was human just as much 
as we are human. He was flesh and blood and bones, 



92 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

just as we are. He was born under the same laws, 
subject to the same temptations, trials and suffering 
and sorrows that we are. But He knew what few of 
mankind knew — that a Christ dwelt in him as it does 
in all of us. He knew a Divine Spark of Life, God, 
existed in every individual. Jesus was mortal, but his 
Christhocd, his Sonship was God immortalized in him. 

When the thoughts of his mind turned to the 
■ material comforts of life — we are told He even 
hungered — He recognized that in God only existed the 
eternal, the real comforts by which the soul lives. And 
when the thoughts of power over all the kingdoms of 
earth began to stir him — He realized that only God is 
power. "And the devil (desires) leaveth Him, and 
behold, angels came and ministered unto Him." 

All false ideas were cast out. All the illusions of 
earth and senses were thrust away and behold the il- 
lumination of the soul, — the Christ within the man 
Jesus. 

Christ is the Soul of God. It is the Son or Sun of 
God. 

The Soul of God is not sexless. The soul of man is 
not sexless. Soul is as strongly sexed as the body. 
We read that when God created, He created both male 
and female. Each has a part in the great creative 
plan of life. Mind is not sexless. There is a mascu- 
line mind and a feminine mind. The masculine mind 
builds the masculine soul. The feminine mind builds 
a feminine soul. Should the masculine mind build a 
feminine soul, or the feminine mind build a masculine 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 93 

soul, creation would soon become sexless and the 
natural laws of generation would be destroyed and 
without generation there can be no regeneration, for 
generation precedes regeneration. 

It is woman's duty to build her soul according to 
the feminine principle of God. Mary, the mother of 
Jesus, was chosen to represent the motherhood of 
Christ (God). Woman need not become a weakling, 
incapable and dependent, because she is feminine, for 
the feminine principle is just as strong as the mascu- 
line, for there could be no masculine without the 
feminine and no feminine without the masculine. But 
it should be natural and not malformed or perverted. 
When woman begins to build a masculine mind she is 
reversing the natural order of God's law, and while 
her body, her features, her voice and manners become 
coarse and masculine, her mind is becoming negative ; 
she is a monstrosity in nature, a disgrace to God and 
man. 

A positive feminine mind produces positive 
thoughts, as strong as the masculine and in thinking 
masculine she becomes masculine, thereby building 
and producing thoughts which subdue the feminine. 

She is taking the law into her own hands away from 
divine rule and order and punishment comes quickly 
upon all lawbreakers. 

It is not necessary to explain the great danger re- 
sulting from such misunderstanding or abuse of the 
law. God did not make man both male and female for 
if he had creation would have ceased long ago. The 



94 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

world would have become unsexed. When the soul 
and mind becomes both masculine and feminine it is 
the same unnatural and perverted law that produces 
the two principles in the body. Now and then there 
are individuals born so, but they are not natural, 
neither can they create, and what is worse, they can- 
not find a soul nor can they build one. Thus we can 
easily recognize that while God does possess both 
masculine and feminine principles, yet they are sepa- 
rate and distinct, one from the other, or creation 
would stop, and where creation stops there also does 
regeneration stop. 

When the masculine begins to build the feminine, 
the masculine mind becomes negative and the soul be- 
comes unsexed or inert. 

At reincarnation, when the soul takes a new body 
it would be of neither sex, it would be both man and 
woman, which is equal to neither. It would neces- 
sarily be drawn into surroundings that harmonize, 
where the minds of the parents are negative, for only 
the negative mind becomes subjected or receptive to 
unnatural laws. 

The soul is magnetic and draws to it that which is 
harmonious to itself. 

If it is masculine it draws masculine, if feminine it 
draws feminine. Remember that the masculine is the 
electrical — the producer, while the feminine is the 
magnetic— the receiver. 

The soul cannot become electrical — it is what the 
mind wills. The body reflects the soul, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 95 

What the soul is, the body is. Therefore if the soul 
were both male and female it would be reflected in the 
body — the body would be both, for what the mind 
builds the soul is, and what the soul is the body must 
be. 

Such teachings which would develop both principles 
are radically wrong. They are dangerous and harmful 
and not according to divine laws which created man, 
masculine, and woman for man, feminine. Each has a 
place in the divine plan and for a good purpose. 
Woman is the soul of man's soul. He is Lord of her, 
and she is his soul. 

Christ is the Soul or Son of God and dwells in all. 
When the Christ is born within us we reflect him. 
Reflecting Him we reflect the Soul of God. The Soul 
of God is what God produces or builds up. And we 
are created in His likeness — we work under the same 
laws. 

Jesus said : "I and my Father are one. ' ' 

Again, he prayed that "All may be one; as thou, 
Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be 
one in us. ' ' 

Jesus did not separate himself as one sanctified and 
holy and apart. He did not claim more for himself 
and less for others. He said, "Thou, Father, in me, 
and I in thee, and they in us,"— they are those who 
know the Father, and the Christ, His soul, and they 
also may be in the soul when they develop the Christ. 

Jesus made no law man could not keep. 

His laws were not His own, He said, "The works I 



96 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

do are of God and the words which ye hear are not 
mine, but the Father's which sent me." All was 
divine law, and He claimed no great thing for himself 
— his mortal self. 

The words He spoke were the words made flesh and 
were full of truth and grace. 

Jesus was human and He experienced all that 
humanity experiences. He was tempted by the same 
tempter — the lure and attraction of the senses, but He 
understood, what we fail to understand, that the 
senses were but false gods that lead to destruction. 
To overcome the senses does not mean that we cannot 
enjoy what we have. To subject the senses to the will 
of righteousness and purity makes us all the more 
capable of enjoying the things which it is right- to 
enjoy. When we become slaves to sensations we are 
not the master. To become Masters we must overcome 
all that leads us away from purity, love and truth. 

We may love but we must not love that which is 
impure. We may enjoy to the full all that is right 
and pure and holy, but we may not become submerged 
in the desires of the senses, for they lead us away from 
the pure and the good. 

We are our own saviors, just as we are our own 
creators. We can become as a little child and learn 
from our own voice the mysteries of the Christ. We 
can open our own blind eyes to see the secret places 
of the Most High. We can open our own ears to 
understanding. We can make the lame soul walk. 
We can cast out devils of unbelief and selfishness, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 97 

We can raise the dead from the tomb of darkened be- 
liefs and iniquity and inherit the kingdom of life 
eternal. 

Only the Christ within ourselves removes the dark- 
ness and illuminates the way. 

There are those who tell us that the soul of man is 
the "accumulated experience of man." 

Every man knows his own experiences — those of the 
mind and of the soul as well as of the body. We ex- 
perience pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow; we ex- 
perience health and sickness — all is a part, a link, a 
stage in the making of a soul, and these experiences 
are woven in truths that make us or mar us. What 
we get cut of life and all preceding lives makes us 
what we are. 

But we can take every pain and pleasure and 
analyze the cause of it. The cause may be the savior 
or the destroyer. 

When we begin to analyze the cause of things we 
can understand the effect. The cause of our pain and 
sorrow produced the effect of pain and sorrow, what- 
ever that may be. The cause of pain has produced 
insanity, sickness, and immorality. 

We have only to analyze our own lives, our accumu- 
lated experience, to know what we have produced. If 
we had known as Jesus knew we would also be tempted 
without sin. The Christ was the Light that guarded 
him and saved him from the darkness and the pitfalls. 
It is in you and will light you and guide you as it did 
him, for it is certain and sure and will never fail if

you will but follow it. 

As your past has made your present, so will your 
present make your future. You are now building your 
own soul. How will you have it f 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 99 



The Building of a Soul. 

We accumulate when we begin to build. To build 
a soul we must first plan the kind of a soul we want, 
just as the architect plans a house he desires to build. 
We must plan just what we want to be, not only in the 
present, but more especially throughout the future. 
We must make a mental picture from the foundation 
to the attic and we must even decide upon the furni- 
ture and the decorations. Harmony must exist from 
floor to floor. We do not want the same articles in 
every room, but we do want all that we need placed in 
such a way as to give the best benefit and service. If 
we want a palace it may take us much longer to build 
it, for the most beautiful structures are usually longest 
in building. 

We must first plan, then we accumulate our timber, 
whatever kind we decide upon, then we must have 
necessary tools and then we must work. We must 
work with determination, and with a will, in all kinds 
of weather, obstacles, losses, and pain, or we will never 
accomplish what we have undertaken — our house will 
not be built. When we build a soul we indeed build a 
house, for it is the house we shall live in throughout 
all time and eternity. It is necessary therefore to 
carefully examine, test, and make sure of all that we 



100 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMOETALITY. 

put into it. Everything must fit in, must be chiseled 
and modeled after the designs of the best and greatest 
or we may not stand when the flood comes. We are 
the temples of God. The temples in which God lives, 
and if we build a temple for God to live in we should 
build after his own temple and pattern — the Christ. 

This is the temple built without sound of hammer. 
It is the same kind of a temple that Solomon built. 

When we accumulate in building the Christ Soul, 
we begin by thinking. Our thoughts are the material 
we use with which to build this temple. With the first 
thoughts we build the foundation. Let it be upon the 
rock, so that when we are tempted we fall not. We 
must think upon certain things every day and live and 
act in harmony with these thoughts. Concentration is 
accumulation. It is the cause and effect, for the cause 
always produces the effect. Concentration opens the 
gates to knowledge. Knowledge is man's greatest in- 
heritance ; we live entirely by the knowledge we 
possess and we have the right to gain as much as we 
can in every possible way. We demonstrate how much 
knowledge we possess by the way we live. 

It is not necessary to be highly educated in the text- 
books of schools and colleges to be able to acquire 
knowledge. The savages possess a knowledge of 
minerals and nature that few white men possess with 
all their learning. Men may be educated and yet have 
little real knowledge. 

There are those groping about the paths of material- 
ism, studying and wondering at the mysteries and 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 101 

forces cf nature, of life, unable to solve the least prob- 
lem of what it is, and where it comes from, although 
they are mighty in the learning of what the material- 
ists call knowledge. 

These teachings are directed toward the cultivation 
of the inner life and knowledge of the soul. 

Few there are who know they have a soul. Fewer 
still know where the soul is, and what it is. Man must 
desire a soul before he may possess one, just as we 
must desire a house before we think of building one. 
If he dees not desire it he will make no effort to pos- 
sess it. It is therefore necessary to have the desire. 
What we desire we obtain or attain if we are strong 
enough to follow our desires to their natural con- 
clusions. If we do not, then we are weaklings. 

This is the first step and until the first step has been 
taken knowledge of the soul is impossible to man. The 
desire awakens the intuitional forces in man and en- 
ables him to gain swiftly, or in a short time, the knowl- 
edge which leads to a rapid and sure growth of soul. 

Those who have the desire for knowledge will fol- 
low as a child the instructions of the masters or the 
teachers. The a b c's is the hardest lesson to learn. 
When we have learned them we may begin to read 
and when we begin to read we begin to acquire knowl- 
edge. 

Those who are seeking the knowledge of the mystic 
must come as a child, willing to obey and follow the 
rules and instructions of those who have gone the way 
before them and have blazed the trail for their guid- 



102 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

ance, so that they may be able to avoid the pitfalls 
and the snares which inevitably fall to the lot of those 
who attempt to learn the way to the Highest. 

The pitfalls and snares are those who with false 
knowledge and beliefs seek to turn the student away 
from the right path and lure them into subtle tempta- 
tions and materialism, and those who rush into the 
psychic world without preparation are liable to slip 
and fall into the grossest errors, losing health, men- 
tality and moral strength and often end in insane 
asylums. 

The student must become his own master before he 
ventures far on the path of initiation and he must 
then have the protection of one who knows the way 
thoroughly and who will lead him into the right way. 
Some seek development and knowledge for self, for 
power and glory. This is not building a soul. This is 
only building a structure that will fall, will crumble 
and go to ruin with the first lashes of the tides and the 
winds. Self must be left out. It is that part of the 
timber or stone that must be re-hewn. A part of it 
only is necessary — just enough to fit in place in ac- 
cordance with the divine plan. We are workmen. "In 

my Father's house are many mansions I (Christ) 

go to prepare a place for you. ' ' 

It is the Christ within each of us who prepares the 
place for us. And Jesus went on to say, "If I go and 
prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive 
you unto myself, that, where I am, there ye may be 
also." 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 103 

When our house is ready for us, when we have fol- 
lowed him all the way, then we are where he is and he 
is with us and we are one in the Father and in the 
Son. 

Experience and evolution does not always develop. 
Development is the awakening of the inner conscious- 
ness. Experience is a dear school and those who pass 
through find many hard and bitter lessons, but not 
until we come to a realization of the cause of our suf- 
fering do we understand what experience is trying to 
teach us. When we understand that the breaking of 
certain laws brings inevitable punishment, and that 
there is no escape from this punishment until we learn 
the law and obey it, then we take the first step toward 
development, or illumination, or soul building. Ex- 
perience teaches us one thing, that it is better to obey 
the law than to break it. 

We do not attain the inner consciousness or illumi- 
nation by evolution. Evolution belongs to the 
material. Evolution is knowledge attained through 
many varied experiences. 

Development or illumination may come without ex- 
perience in the physical or material. If man was 
created spiritual in the beginning and lost his high 
estate through an act of disobedience, it was not ex- 
perience in the first place which illuminated him. He 
was illuminated before the experience came. He 
learned that there is a law not made by man which 
man cannot regulate unto his own way of thinking. 
Think what we will we cannot change God. We can 



104 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

only change ourselves. And this is what man learns 
through experience, that he must change himself. He 
does not learn this, however, until he is illuminated, 
until he learns what it is to build a soul. 

He may have journeyed through many reincarna- 
tions and yet never have come to a realization that he 
has a soul. When the mind becomes negative, and be- 
gins to build up something contrary to the laws of the 
divine plan, man will suffer and continue to suffer and 
the further away from truth he gets, the more he will 
suffer, but he may never become enlightened, or de- 
veloped, or illuminated. He may go through the most 
terrifying experiences, but experience may teach him 
nothing for it is possible to destroy the soul, and when 
the soul is destroyed there is nothing to live. So when 
man or woman begins to develop contrary to divine 
order or plans he or she develops a negative state. 
Male and female were ordered according to divine 
wisdom, and divinity never ordered them changed. 

Feminine mind is half of creation and the most 
beautiful half at that. The masculine is the other 
half. One and one are two and two may create, but 
four cannot create for the divine plan is reversed and 
to reverse the law is to destroy. Development of the 
masculine destroys the feminine in woman and she 
loses her creative powers and with it her soul. The 
same law holds good regarding man. 

Woman is not the positive principle in nature and 
she is not the electrical. When she begins to build a 
masculine soul she becomes negative in mind for she 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 105 

also creates a masculine mind. 

Her mind is electrical but the soul is magnetic. The 
scul sends the currents of thought back and the mind, 
the feminine principles, are destroyed and she builds 
up a masculine monstrosity. She destroys herself in 
becoming something else, in reversing the order of the 
divine plan. 

As long as we are peaceable and law abiding citi- 
zens we do not suffer from broken laws. But when we 
break the law we suffer ; we even destroy ourselves 
when we repeatedly break the laws, for governments, 
even, do not allow a criminal to run at large. 

Development may be attained before experience has 
even taught us anything. Jesus did not learn through 
experience. When temptations came to him he pos- 
sessed the knowledge of the law and knew that it was 
not necessary to experience suffering and disappoint- 
ment or sorrow in order to learn to overcome them. 
He knew before that it was not necessary to fall into 
temptation. He knew this before he was tempted, be- 
fore experience came. And this is what he taught — 
to know the law and keep it, and not to break it and 
then suffer. 

We read that he was tempted as we are, yet without 
sin. That is, he was tempted and did not sin. He 
knew that there was no enjoyment in sin. He had the 
knowledge, obtained through his years of training and 
development, before sin tempted him. We sin before 
we have the knowledge but that is not necessary, for 
sometimes we never gain the knowledge even through 



106 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

sin. 

But Jesus did not teach to sin and suffer and then 
grow into knowledge. He taught men to obey the laws 
and not break them. 

He taught them that breaking the laws brought 
swift and inevitable punishment, but he did not teach 
them to break them and learn but to learn first and 
not break them. He did not teach that suffering 
brought purification, for it does not always do so. He 
taught that purification would save us from suffering. 
He said : "If you drink of the waters I give you, you 
shall never thirst, ' ' but he who drinks of the material 
waters will thirst again and again. He had reference 
to the spiritual waters. 

You say that Jesus was pure and yet suffered. 

Be suffered, but he suffered not from broken laws. 
He suffered because he was willing to suffer in order 
to show mankind the true way. There are different 
kinds of suffering. We suffer because of others and 
for others but not because of self. He saved the world 
only through his teachings. His material death has 
nothing to do with salvation, except that he proved 
himself immortal. He could not have become im- 
mortal if he had not developed the Christ — the Soul, 
or Sonship of Cod. He taught that all men are sons 
of God if they will obey the laws of God and seek the 
light. 

We do not believe that the sufferings of Jesus were 
very great. Why? Because his physical sufferings 
were only of the body, his soul was clean. Mental 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 107 

agony is far greater than physical pain. He was 
sorrowful because of the blindness of many, but he 
always understood. He was persecuted but He suf- 
fered not because of it. 

In the Garden of Gethsemane he prayed for 
strength and for the cup to pass from him. Many 
orthodox teachers claim that he prayed to be saved 
from death, but this is not true. If we follow him 
carefully we find that he was at that hour in a state of 
physical collapse. He even sweated great drops of 
blood. This was not from fear. It was from physical 
weakness. There are cases on record in medical his- 
tory where in physical weakness or approaching death 
persons have sweat heavy drops of blood. Jesus knew 
that the approaching ordeal of scourging and con- 
finement would tax his strength to the utmost, and he 
prayed for the cup of physical weakness to pass and 
it did pass for the angel came and strengthened him. 

Mortal men and even criminals have faced death 
and torture unflinchingly, therefore it is foolish for 
any one to think that Jesus would shrink from it. 

He suffered not through fear nor cowardice for 
himself. His sufferings were selfless. 

There are masters of to-day who can experience the 
most terrible torture and yet are immune from suffer- 
ing. 

Jesus' suffering came from the great pity and com- 
passion and love he gave to the blind. He knew his 
teachings would live. He committed no errors. He 
taught those who were ready and willing to be 



108 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

taught and who would go the way, who would obey. 
He was not afraid; he knew they would learn when 
they were ready to learn, when the soul awakened by 
the desires of the mind, would receive and grow into 
the Christ. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 109 



Works and Faith. 

Faith produces works and works are faith produced. 

Faith is in reality nothing but thought — it is what 
we think. To have faith in anything is to believe in it. 
We believe by thinking. The stronger we think the 
stronger is our belief and our belief is faith. 

The thing we have greatest faith in is the thing we 
do. It is the works of our faith or thought. When a 
man believes in evil he does evil. He plans and builds 
and lives in evil because he has faith in the power and 
pleasures of evil. We demonstrate our faith daily in 
the work we do. 

We see men planning and building. They build and 
plan according to their faith and what they produce is 
the works of the faith. 

If a man builds a bridge, he builds it because he has 
faith in it. He thinks it, he believes in what he thinks. 
Thought comes into his mind with an image of a 
bridge. This bridge is thought. He goes on thinking 
— then he plans, then he builds. This is faith and 
works. 

No man ever yet did anything he did not believe in. 

It is true that millions do the things in which they 
believe not, but they do them because they believe it 
is to their best interests. Thus they mav not believe 



110 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMOETALITY. 



in the act but they believe — have faith — in the results 
of the act. 

If man is lazy, useless and shirks his duty, it is be- 
cause he believes he is happiest in such condition. He 
has faith in so much as he does. If he does nothing he 
has faith in nothing, he thinks nothing, he believes 
nothing. 

We obey faith — or thought. 

We build soul on the principles of faith. It is our 
works. Our soul betrays the kind of faith we have 
worked under. 

Paul says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped 
for," so the substance of the soul is the faith, it is the 
thing hoped for. 

If we hope and plan and build for peace we have 
faith in the hope for peace. 

We have faith in health if we think health. We 
have faith in happiness if we think happiness. 

You may lie and deceive me, but if I think you are 
true, that is faith in you, faith in the ideal. I build 
of you, in the hopes I have in you. 

Every man with an idea produces that idea in some 
form. It will materialize in some manifestation, of 
thought, word or deed. 

It is impossible to hold an idea or thought long 
without manifesting it in some way. 

The man who does not manifest his thoughts has 
none. There is always an avenue of expression for 
thought. 

Here is the man who never macle a success of any- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. Ill 



thing. He is the man who is imposed upon, who is 
thrust aside for some other more energetic, active, 
pushing individual who is demonstrating or manifest- 
ing his faith in himself. 

He manifests thought-energy in the energy and 
push he gives to his works. He is working out his 
faith. He is doing what he thinks — this is his faith. 
It is the thought he is hoping to realize and attain. 

The individual who stands back, who does not push 
ahead, who is thrust aside, is manifesting his faith and 
works in so doing. He is not thinking energy and 
push or he would do it. If he works under another 
man as a laborer without will and freedom of his own, 
he demonstrates his faith. If he had faith in larger 
works, more remunerative employment, he would at- 
tain it. 

He is demonstrating and manifesting his faith in 
the occupation or vocation he has chosen. 

Faith is not in something outside of ourselves, it is 
within us. It is our thoughts. Jesus said, "If ye had 
faith as the grain of a mustard seed ye could remove 
mountains." A mustard seed is a small thing to be- 
gin with, but it can grow into vast proportions. 

So can thought. So can faith. 

We can think many thoughts and yet not believe 
them or have faith in them, but the thought we think 
about anything is our faith. We believe in it in some 
way. We believe in its truth or durability or we be- 
lieve it is not truth or durable, hence its thought and 
faith, 



112 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

Faith is great or small. 

It produces itself. 

Jesus produced his faith by his works. He taught 
his faith — he taught his thoughts. 

His faith in God was his thoughts of Him. 

He demonstrated his thoughts by his works. 

Men knew whom he loved, whom he adored; they 
knew his thoughts or his faith by his life, his acts, his 
deeds, his works. 

Judas Iscariot demonstrated his faith and his 
thoughts by his deceitful, treacherous deeds. 

He had faith in evil because he thought evil and his 
belief built his soul in harmony with his thoughts. 

Some have endeavored to picture Judas as one who 
assisted Jesus in demonstrating truth and life eternal, 
but this is not true. 

Judas Iscariot was taught as were the eleven dis- 
ciples. Jesus demonstrated the powers of light and 
truth, the force of thought to him as well as to the 
others, and we read where he deceitfully criticised the 
woman who anointed Jesus with the ointment, say- 
ing, "Why was not this ointment sold for three hun- 
dred pence and given to the poor?" 

This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but be- 
cause he was a thief. 

He was the betrayer and thief because he had faith 
in his own evil mind and thoughts. 

Betrayers are not God-sent, not Gocl-urdained. 

They are sent and ordained by the thoughts of their 
own minds, Righteousness was never betrayed by 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 113 

evil because evil was good. 

Neither is it necessary for goodness to be demon- 
strated or helped to its own by evil. 

An evil thought never helped anything. 

It is as a means of distinguishing good from evil, 
but it never did and never will help goodness to attain 
righteousness. 

It is not necessary for man to grovel in the dust, 
the mire, and the slime in order to awaken to goodness 
and truth. 

The soul is not awakened by endless stages of evil 
incarnations and evolution. 

If a man begins his earth journey in evil and con- 
tinues to cling to evil he destroys himself or forces 
himself to return to suffer Karmic laws for such evils. 

He does not awaken. 

Evil does not cause suffering until the soul awakens. 
The soul does not suffer until awakened. The man 
who is thoroughly evil does not awaken through it. 

One desire for truth, for something better and 
purer, awakens man no matter how much evil he has 
committed, provided he has not committed those sins 
w T hich destroy the soul. 

When the desire is born, thought, or created, then 
and not till then, does man suffer for his sins. 

Judas Iscariot demonstrated his own thoughts when 
he betrayed the Christ. They bought him with money. 
He was not the first nor the last to sell the Christ for 
the love of money. Thousands are committing the 
geime deed every day. 



114 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

Judas thought to destroy — he destroyed only him- 
self. He had faith in destruction — he demonstrated 
his thoughts by his works. 

Ancient Atlantis is reincarnating in this cycle. 
Both the good and the bad are reincarnating. The 
good for good purposes; the evil for evil purposes. 

The good have attained higher knowledge and are 
seeking to benefit humanity and save the land from 
another deluge. 

The evil of Atlantis are also coming again to cause 
its fall, its destruction. 

If evolution or reincarnation awakens man from 
evil, why is evil reincarnating? 

The good ones are better than they were, but the 
evil are more evil. 

Reincarnating has not lessened the evil of the evil 
ones, or they would not seek to destroy. 

Evil does not suffer. 

Good does not suffer. 

It is the soul of man that suffers. 

The body can suffer always, it is the material. 

The soul suffers when it begins to awaken. 

When the soul attains Christhood it suffers no more. 
It has then worked out all its Karma. 

Jesus never suffered after he arose from the tomb. 
He had not attained supremacy over the flesh until 
he had cast it off. 

Development or unfoldment is the only way of at- 
tainment of the Christ. Neither creed nor dogma can 
help the soul, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 115 

Man may be incarnated ten thousand times and yet 
be no nearer truth at the last stage than at the first. 

Development is the saving power. 

The world is enlightened, not through evolution, for 
that is only of the material, but through development, 
which is of the soul. It is through faith and through 
thought. 

Development begins with desire. Desire begins 
with thought. 

A thought is a desire. 

Thoughts of evil are desires for evil, for no man 
thinks evil but that he desires it. 

Thoughts of good are desires for good, for no man 
thinks of the good unless he desires it. 

Faith in evil produces evil, and faith in good must 
produce good. 

We believe our own thoughts. We believe a rose is 
pretty because we think it. 

A man may go through many stages of evolution 
without attaining goodly desires. 

Another man may go through but a few stages and 
develop far beyond him. 

The old soul is not always the better, purer soul. 

Many old souls are evil. There are some which are 
good. Thus many births count for nauglit unless man 
awakens to the truth and does the works of truth. 

Jesus said, "Ye must be born of water and of the 
spirit." 

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that 
which is born of the spirit is spirit, 



116 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



Though the soul is born again and again of the flesh, 
it is flesh until born of the spirit. 

"No man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that 
came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which 
is in heaven." 

Man's birthright is direct from God. Man has not 
risen from rocks and herbs and animals, as some 
would teach. Jesus said, "No man ascended but he 
that comes down from heaven." 

Divine Alchemy teaches the secret of the creation 
of man. "Man never was developed from any stage 
of monkeyhood, nor from plants nor rocks. It is true 
that the same elements which are in rock and plants 
also constitute man, but man never developed from 
them." 

Man is composed of the elements of divinity direct. 
"God became flesh and dwelt among us." He who is 
building soul in the image of his Maker, is able to 
draw to him the knowledge of this power. 

To have faith is to trust. 

We cannot trust the power of a thing we do not 
know. Man cannot trust God if he knows not God. 
If man knew God he would trust Him. If he knew 
God he would have no speculation or theories of the 
evolutionary stages. He would know. The works of 
God are manifested to those who know God. 

Man was first air, then water, then fire, then flesh. 
This is the secret of the descent from heaven. Man 
did .not ascend from dust, rock, plant, or animal — he 
descended from heaven according to the law of di- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 117 

vinity. Man, the Christ-man, always was and always 
will be, and his knowledge comes not from being 
created, but from creating. 

He who has knowledge has the power to create and 
he who is able to create has knowledge of the laws, 
thoughts and works of God or Good. 

When we trust we believe. Our thoughts are 
moulded in harmony with all thoughts of trust and 
belief. This is faith. And our faith leads us into 
works — works lead us into soul. 

If man believes that evolution alone has saving 
power, he will make no attempt to awaken the divinity 
within himself, and he will continue to evolve a per- 
sonality, but the soul will sleep for ages. 

The world is better than it was a thousand years 
ago. 

It has more external knowledge, it has more of the 
mental, but there is no proof that the mental age will 
be much better than the physical age. 

The world is no better for being crowded with men- 
tal murderers than with physical. 

Death, sickness, downfalls, and many evils have 
been caused by mental opposition and concentration. 

Christian Science has called this "Mental Mal- 
practice." It is simply the old black magic of the 
ages which has been used for thousands of years by 
the black magicians, and many ills and deaths and 
divers woes have been caused by those who know and 
practice this diabolical art. 

Many crimes have been committed by negatives in 



118 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

this manner, and the real perpetrators have escaped 
punishment from physical laws because the act was 
never known as murder. It was insanity or illness 
which resulted in death ( ?) . 

Mental science has been brought before the world ; 
it has demonstrated the power of mind over matter. 
It has worked without soul science, its faith, its powers 
have not demonstrated the power of soul, but only of 
mind. 

G-od could not have become flesh if He had con- 
tinued to dwell in mind alone. God is in reality soul. 
He works to attain soul — He works from mind to soul. 

Mental science will demonstrate to the world greater 
signs and wonders than it has yet given. It will 
demonstrate the full and complete power of mind. It 
will attain its zenith in the mental age — the power of 
good and evil will be manifested through this science 
beyond the comprehension of men of to-day and of 
years ago. It is the way-shower, the light-bearer of 
mind, of mentality, as was John the Baptist, who bap- 
tized with water (mind). 

Science of mind has already proved the truth and 
certainty of mental malpractice ; it will prove greater 
power yet. 

But mind will die with the body. 

Sotd only lives. 

The science of soul, its building, its works, will 
follow with even greater demonstrations than mind 
has given. 

But all this will be good only. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 119 

You cannot build an evil soul. It would die like 
mind. 

This is the doctrine of fire. It is the comforter 
which Jesus said would come. 

It will open the spiritual age, for it is the doctrine 
of the Christ, who is to come, who always was and 
always will be. 

It is he who will baptize iviih fire.

ATONEMENT. 



"Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; 
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the 
second time without sin unto salvation." 

Atonement means reconciliation. 

For ages people were wandering farther and farther 
from the one true Cod, and Jesus' mission was to turn 
them back, to bring them to an understanding and 
realization of what Cod was. 

Man wandered away in his own ignorance and con- 
ceit. Man has made himself impossible for a dwelling 
place of Cod. Looking away from earth and flesh into 
vague, visionary clouds of imagination, he looked 
away from the one knowable but unknown God and 
Creator. 

"Man knew Cod and glorified him not as God, 
neither were they thankful ; but became vain in their 
imagination and their foolish heart was darkened. 
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." 

"And changed the glory of the incorruptible Cod 
into an image made like to corruptible man, and to 
birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things." 

Man's mistake was in making Cod in the likeness of 
man, a personal being of anger, jealousy, revenge, and 
demanding life and blood to appease His anger and 



122 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

His wrath. 

No wonder they wandered far away from such a 
Cod. 

How many times have men taken into their own 
hands the power and speech of God and demanded 
obedience and reverence to opinions, traditions, and 
theories more heathenish than any heathen ever 
taught? 

. Who could love a God who would consent and en- 
courage men to pillage, kill, and torture helpless men, 
women, and children? What God could appear to 
man as Love, and say, "Worship thou me with all 
thine heart, with all thy soul" and "thou shalt have 
no other god before me," and command them to 
murder, rape and all kinds of destruction? 

God loved and created all men, and does not go out 
to battle against His sons and daughters, distributing 
favors and blessings on one side regardless of worthi- 
ness or wisdom, and torment, carnage, and warfare 
on the other side for no reason at all. 

Is God violent and unmerciful? 

No. 

Such a God is a man-made God, "made into an 
image like to corruptible man," and is not the God 
they once knew, but would not glorify as God. 

As the Jews, they looked for a king that should rule 
with judgment and wisdom equal only to their own 
understanding. 

"Professing to be wise, they became fools," and 
their "foolish hearts were darkened," They were 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 123 

darkened and misled by their own thoughts and de- 
sires. 

Man was made in the image or likeness of his 
Creator — God. The mind of man is his own creator, 
and of a truth he is created in the image of his mind, 
for man is very like his mind — he is a direct image 
and likeness of his own thoughts. 

God is incorruptible and becomes corruptible only 
when likened unto man. Man must make himself as 
God, and not endeavor to make God as a man, with the 
lusts and desires of men. 

However, men in every stage has lifted God to the 
height of his own enlightenment. 

A material, lustful, violent man cannot think of a 
God beyond his own ideas, thoughts, and desires. 
When people live in an age of violence and warfare 
it is reasonable to expect a violent and warring God 
as their Creator, Leader, and Saviour. God only at- 
tains the height and likeness man gives him. 

Man follows his own ideas, his thoughts, his desires, 
and opinions and this leads him away from the one 
true God instead of leading to Him. 

In every age man has given us his conception of 
God. The Jews looked for a king, to rule over them ; 
they are looking for him yet. Their conception of 
God, the Christ, the Osiris, is an earthly king, thus 
betraying their lack of wisdom and true knowledge 
of God. 

The churches of to-day are no better. They have 
taken the conception of Jesus and twisted the Christ 



124 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

he taught and demonstrated into an "image like unto 
corruptible man." They have given to this image a 
personality as unto man. 

They have made a God cruel, heartless, and unjust, 
and they worship him as a King in a far-off country, 
whither few can ever hope to go. 

They tell us God is Love, Mercy, Truth, and in the 
next breath tell us, he will burn us all in a lake of fire 
and brimstone. 

One once said: "God cannot save you if you will 
not let him," and a few minutes later made the re- 
mark that "the Devil will get you if he makes up his 
mind. ' ' Thus does the ministry teach a true God. 

They worship a Being whom they have never seen 
and whom they never expect to see, for how can "a 
worm of the dust" ever attain sonship with Christ if 
he never lifts himself from the dust ? 

Is it any wonder that man drifted away instead of 
towards God ? 

The mission of the Christ was to restore man to his 
rightful place, to bring him back to knowledge and 
sonship with God, to lift him up from the dust into a 
man, a son of God. 

The conception of the Christ, of Jesus, is entirely 
different from the conception of the Christ of the 
Church. 

Christ is not a man. 

Christ is not an "image like unto corruptible man." 

Christ is the awakened soul, the Son of God. 

The sages and wise men of the Egyptians wor- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 125 

shipped Osiris as the son of God, which is identical 
with the teachings and conception of Jesus. 

When man begins to understand the Christ, he will 
begin to understand himself and his duty and position 
towards God. 

Instead of drifting far cut to sea, away from 
anchorage and safety, he will turn back and become 
reconciled to his Father, his Creator, which is in 
heaven, and thus make an at-one-ment with the Christ. 
He will, by building a soul, become a part of and one 
with God, the Father. 

Christ is the real, the true conception of what God 
is. 

You say, "The churches teach Christ, the truth; 
they all have truth. ' ' 

But what is truth ? 

What is Christ » 

Have the churches ever taught that the Christ is 
not man, but is the thought, the idea, the desires of the 
holy, just, loving God? 

Thoughts, ideas and desires form the soul. 

In every chapter is explained that soul is builded, 
formed, moulded and created by the thoughts, desires, 
and ideas of the mind, hence the Soul of God is 
builded by the thoughts of the mind of God— or mind 
of Good. 

What is good? 

Analyze Good and you will analyze God. 

What is Good? Where is it — where does it dwell? 

The answer comes in tones of thunder; Within 



126 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

the heart of man must it be found. 

Every mind builds a soul. The soul is substance. 
It has a body — an invisible body to the physical eye, 
but a visible one to the spiritual eye. 

Every person who wills to see his own soul can do 
so if he will obey and follow the instructions as given 
by the powerful Aeth Brotherhood — those masters in 
direst touch with the White Brotherhood. 

Every student of the Aeth Brotherhood is able to 
see his soul and to know its likeness and authorship, 
whether it has been builded into the Christ or into 
evil. 

"Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; 
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the 
second time without sin unto salvation." 

"We have all believed in the Christ and have fol- 
lowed the ideas and conceptions of many. 

This is the Christ as he has appeared to us, but 
"unto them that look for him shall he appear the 
second time without sin unto salvation." 

Without sin unto salvation because "it does not yet 
appear what we shall be; but we know that he shall 
appear, we shall be like him for we shall see him as 
he is." 

• "And every man that hath the hope in him purifieth 
himself, even as he is pure." 

Even the Jews in the time of Jesus purified them- 
selves before they went to the temple by fasting and 
prayer. This they called the atonement before the 
feast of the Passover. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 127 

They brought themselves back from an unclean to a 
clean state of mind and body, reconciling themselves 
to a better and purer state and thus making them- 
selves at one with God. 

No man can become one with God until he purifies 
himself. Himself is really his soul. 

Man is soul. The body dies and is nothing. 

The soul lives on and is what the body has left. It 
is what his mind has thought and desired as a vehicle 
to accomplish its purpose on earth. 

The first state of man is air in vibration. It always 
was. It is without form and void, but it is. It is the 
spirit — it is the life spark. 

This, "the Spirit of God moved upcn the face of the 
earth." 

The spirit is the fire — the life spark — love. This 
spirit moves upon the water and takes it up as the sun 
takes up the moisture from the earth and the waters, 
and this becomes mind. Air and water produce fire 
and these are formless. They desire because mind has 
thought, and this desire draws them to earth and man 
becomes flesh. 

He is composed of the four elements. He is com- 
posed of the same elements as the plants, the veget- 
ables, the minerals, the flesh, but he is not and never 
was a plant, mineral, or animal before his birth as a 
man. 

He is of the Creator and was creator of all. 

Man Avas formed and created of all the elements, 
but was not the substance of these elements only as the 



128 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



creator for man is of God. 

He descended to ascend. 

He was one in the beginning, but through his own 
laws and thoughts and desires he created, he wan- 
dered away from at-one-ment and to attain at-one- 
ment he must become reconciled, return to God, as 
his own — as his one — himself purified, cleansed and 
made perfect. 

He must be reborn, must make himself an image 
and likeness of goodness and truth. 

Then he is one soul with God. 

Before the earth was created man was. 

Jesus said, * ' Thou lovedst me before the foundation 
of the world." 

There are other worlds before this and the gods of 
other worlds were before this earth was. They, there- 
fore, did not evolve from plant or animal life, or from 
rocks and minerals. 

There are creatures, called elementals, that have 
never been born of the flesh. 

These elementals have mind and soul, but they 
could not have evolved from anything of the earth, 
having never touched the earth. 

God is in reality soul and the purified soul of man 
is one part of the soul of God, the Creator. 

The universe is the visible body of God. 

"When the mind of man plans and creates, this is 
also the creation of God. God is the source of all 
ideas and thoughts that build and formulate goodness, 
truth and virtue, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 129 

There are seas cf limitless knowledge for the soul 
that seeks to know. 

Eternal life, the secrets of nature, of life, and death 
are his to know if man wills it. 

The greatest stumbling block is self — and selfish- 
ness. Man erred when he created self above all things 
else. His mind, his body are to him the sole existence 
of all things and the comforts and pleasures of the 
material life fascinates and leads him away from truth 
and the real. The more we yield and listen to the de- 
mands of the flesh for pleasure and bodily comforts, 
the less we know of the real. 

"What will it profit a man to gain the whole world 
and lose his own soul?" 

To turn away from the soul is death. 

As long as mind exists, soul of some kind is created. 
And "as a man thinketh in his heart so is he," for he 
builds the soul as he thinks. 

Temptations surround him to lead him away, to 
cause him to wander in uncertainty and darkness, and 
the more frequently he yields to his sensual and gross 
desires and pleasures the weaker his soul becomes to 
resist. 

Oftentimes awakening comes after certain souls 
have sapped the fountains of pleasure dry and find 
that they have only eaten the apples cf Sodom, or 
drank from the springs of Marah.

CRVCIFIXIO&C. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 131 



CRUCIFIXION 



On the day of the crucifixion of Jesus, "there was a 
darkness ever all the earth, and the sun was darkened, 
and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst." 
The Christ was never crucified. 
Only the flesh suffered, only the man Jesus was 
nailed to the cross. 

Jesus had prepared himself for the Golgotha test. 
He knew it was the supreme test, the victory of which 
would lift him up into everlasting glory of the life 
eternal, and lift all men with him. The Gospels give 
the entire thoughts of Jesus and these thoughts were 
the builders of the Christ Soul. The real man is the 
soul and Avhen Peter made the confession he did not 
identify the Jesus as the Son of God, but the Christ 
as the Son of God. 

"Whom say ye that I am?" (the real man, the 
soul). 

And Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of 
the living God." 

Jesus taught the Christ. He demonstrated Christ 
and manifested Christ, the Sun, or Sen and Soul of 
Gcd, in every act, word, deed, desire and thought. In 
the beginning of his life he knew where the Father 
dwelt. He knew when a child that he would be about 
his "Father's business." And the learne4 men and 



132 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



teachers in the synagogues knew not what he meant 
when he referred to his ''Father's business." 

Only his mother knew, for she kept all that he said 
within her heart. 

Jesus knew all men, "And needed not that any 
should testify of man ; for he knew what was in man. ' ' 

He knew the mind, because the soul of him could 
see and read the minds of men. 

The thoughts and desires were manifested before 
his eyes and he read men and knew what was in man. 
Peter, with all his boasted loyalty in time of need, 
knew not himself as the Master knew him. Peter's 
knowledge and power then surpassed any that we have 
to-day, yet the Master said, "When thou art con- 
verted, Peter, strengthen thy brethren. ' ' This proves 
that one may possess great powers of healing and 
teaching, and yet be unconverted, or rather liable to 
be led away by the fear and demands of the flesh and 
cf self. The Satan of self was Peter's greatest enemy. 
When the Master was taken by the enemy Peter 
feared for his own life and safety. Jesus knew his 
weakness, knew that Peter must rid himself of self 
before he could strengthen others. And when Peter 
saw himself as he was, when he remembered his great 
promise cf loyalty and love, "I will lay down my life 
for thy sake." and then recognized his weakness and 
cowardice in the moment of trial, do Ave wonder that 
he went alone without and wept bitterly? 

He saw not the Christ within himself at that 
moment when Christ looked upon him, 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 133 

There was not one among them who proclaimed his 
loyalty and love as did Peter. Yet the great struggle 
he had with self won the victory, for in the hour when 
Peter saw himself — his soul, he was awakened, and 
none ever stood so boldly, so fearlessly and faithfully 
for the truth as did Peter. The true birth of the soul 
comes in the hour of trial. 

We believe ourselves strong and steadfast, we may 
think Ave could die for another, but the frail soul 
trembles when the test comes. 

How can we die for another when we refuse to die 
for our own soul's sake? 

Man will destroy the soul, crucify soul for the flesh 
and worldly gain and greed, he will cheat and gamble 
and trade soul for money, he will den}- the soul, but 
he cannot deny the flesh. He cannot give up the 
craving and thirst for the treasures and fame of 
earth. 

Yet he knows all the earthly desires and gains and 
pleasures will come to naught. 

The treasures he leaves for others to spoil and 
abuse. The wine that left the sweet seductive taste in 
his mouth he can taste no more. The lure and tempta- 
tion of fleeting sensual loves will pass from him and 
he passes beyond the veil without light and oftentimes 
without hope, for there are those who are the remain- 
ing spark of a lost soul that has thrown away its last 
chance for life eternal. 

The flesh speaks of self. We seek bodily ease and 
comforts because the flesh demands it. The contempt 



134 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

and disdain, the proud demeanor of the worldly 
people wounds us. Why? 

Can the man who is without soul wound the soul of 
a Christ, of a Son of God? 

Think you Christ Jesus suffered because he was 
poor? 

Was he not tempted as no other was tempted ? 

He knew he possessed the power of gods, that the 
angels of God would minister unto him, yet when they 
sought to make him king he departed from them. The 
powers of the flesh, of the call of men who saw not the 
soul but the power he was wielding, was not a tempta- 
tion to the Christ. 

Why should we allow the world to hurt us ? 

Why should we care for the small place in life we 
must hold if we are even "one of the least in the 
kingdom of heaven?" 

Jesus said, "Of men born of women there is not a 
greater than John the Baptist, but he that is least in 
the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." 

The worldly desires lead us away from the heavenly 
unless we can discern the real from the false. 

Crucify the flesh, "Crucify him," that is the only 
way to freedom and to life. 

"Put up thy sword into thy sheath; the cup which 
my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it ? " 

Shall we, dare we refuse the crucifixion?" 

It leads to glory, at-one-ment, and sonship with the 
Father. This Jesus knew when the disciples would 
struggle for power of the flesh. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 135 

Jesus knew the way. 

He did not pause, nor shrink, nor shudder. 

Long before the crucifixion, he said, "I lay down 
my life that I might take it again." 

"No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of my- 
self. I have power to lay it down and I have power to 
take it up again." 

It was not the eternal life he was giving up. 

No man has power to do that. 

When the soul is once awakened and desires son- 
ship with the Father it can never be destroyed. 

This is the key to "the kingdom of heaven and the 
gates of hell cannot prevail against it." 

There is suffering perhaps for the awakening soul, 
but there is no suffering for the awakened soul. There 
may be many obstacles in the earthlife to overcome, 
and the desires of the flesh will constantly annoy and 
tempt, but after the veil of the temple (the flesh) is 
rent in the midst so that we can see the spiritual self- 
hood behind the veil we count suffering as naught. 

All men wear the veil of the spirit. The body is the 
temple of the living God, but few can pierce the veil 
that hides the God within the temple. 

When the veil is rent in the midst, when the flesh is 
crucified, or rather, the desires and demands of the 
flesh and of self are crucified, we commend our spirit 
into the hands of the Father as did Jesus, and we 
walk anew in life and peace and eternal sonship. 
When sonship is fully attained we suffer no more. 

When Jesus rose from the tomb of death he suffered 



136 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

no more trials and temptations, or sorrows of the 
flesh. 

He sorrowed before the crucifixion and he was sub- 
ject to sensations like as w T e are. Jesus wept at the 
grave of Lazarus, as others wept. He did not weep 
because he had no hope, but because he understood 
the blindness and struggles of those about him. It is 
not weakness to understand the sorrows of others. 
"Weakness is to yield to the temptations of the flesh. 

Many men yield to a demand of comfort and of 
ambitions of the flesh and yet count themselves strong. 
These men teach great truths and many have not 
learned to look beyond the veil of self into the temple 
and know and understand the God that dwells there, 
struggling for freedom in every one of us. 

Jesus' great power was in his understanding, and 
"he needed not that any should testify of man; for he 
knew what was in man. 

He knew the good from the evil. 

He knew how strong the ties of the flesh were. 

Many are the lessons he has given us to know and 
the greatest of all are the lessons of love, and under- 
standing. 

The flesh had tempted and tried him, the strongest 
of men, and he saw the same subtle enemy encompass 
his loved ones. 

When they sought to kill him he knew they were 
unable to understand the truth. They had not yet 
lifted the veil of the flesh from the soul. 

"Why do ye not understand my speech? even be- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 137 



cause ye cannot hear my word." 

"Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of 
your father ye will do." 

This is the lusts and the evils of the flesh which he 
said is "... .a murderer from the beginning (a de- 
stroyer of truth and Christ) and abode not in the 
truth, because there is no truth in him." 

There is no truth in evil, nor in pleasures of the 
senses. They say they will not die — that pleasure is 
life, but the senses and the flesh will die, and there is 
no truth in them. 

The flesh suffers at the parting of the ways. When 
the veil is lifted and the soul is acknowledged there is 
sorrow, but only for the time being. 

It is better to die and live again, than to live and die 
for ever. 

The mind knows what manner of spirit it is. 

Mind is a subtle, steady builder. It is the river of 
life to the soul. It is the water that cleanses the soul 
from all uncleanness. 

It is the kindly light that leads through the pits and 
shadows of the evil. 

Mind as creator is the transmitter of all vibrations. 

These vibrations absorbed by the soul are many 
colored, and can be seen and felt. 

It is an established fact, proved by the scientists, 
that thoughts are of many colors. 

And the mind can read these colors as one would 
read a book. 

They emanate from man and identify him. 



138 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

Mind produces thought. The mind is ever pro- 
ducing and creating, piling up wheat and tares until 
the gleaning and harvest threads and binds them 
apart — until the crucifixion tears away the veil be- 
tween soul and body and the Christ is free born. 

No man but one ever trod the way willingly. 

There is continued darkness and the sun does not 
give light until the Golgotha hour is struck. 

There is but one way to go. It is by way of the 
cross. 

The cross is only the separation of evil and soul. 

It is the thirsting out of the desires that lead to 
death. 

"He that entereth not by the door into the sheep- 
fold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a 
thief and a robber. ' ' 

The Christ is the door. It leads into the worlds and 
planes of godness and power beyond. 

To go the way we must do the works Jesus did. 

There are many blind among us, whom we are able 
to teach and lead. There is no blindness so hopeless 
as that of a blind soul. 

Destroy the self and the soul sees. 

Self is the veil of the temple. 

It hides all that is beautiful within the spiritual 
domes, and so darkness reigns upon "the face of the 
deep." 

Would you have peace? Then study the laws of 
peace. 

The world is beginning to long for peace as it has 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 139 



never longed in all the ages past. 

Are the vibrations from the minds of those who de- 
sire peace beginning to be felt? 

This world is really a world of souls, all desiring 
one life or the other. There are but two classes. 

The cold, indifferent moral man who believes in 
nothing beyond himself and his environments, is 
building a soul that is cold and indifferent and this is 
not the soul Jesus manifested and demonstrated as the 
Christ, as the Son of God. 

The cross is a blessing and not a curse. 

Blessed is the man that nails the eld sensational, 
evil loving self to the cross. 

It might not be necessary to give up the body if 
man but knew the mysteries and power of the Christ. 

Mind is the sinner or the savior of all men. 

Mind decides the cross or the grave for the soul. 

Purify the body by the thoughts of the mind and 
the soul is cleansed and purified. 

The body that is temperate and clean in all its mem- 
bers is a temple fit for gods to dwell in. 

There are many snares to guard against. 

There is the snare of avarice, of ambition and the 
desire to excel, to lead among men. 

The hands, the eyes, the voice, the lips, the feet, in 
fact every member of the body aids in deceiving or in 
transmuting its baser substances into pure and shining 
gold. 

If one member of the body of Jesus had been de- 
filed and impure he could not have lifted his body

from the grave. 

Love gave him the power to cleanse himself from all 
desire and temptation — the cross gave him power to 
lift the thin veil of the temple and transmute himself 
into shining gold, and eternal sonship with the Father. 

"But unto them that look for him shall he appear 
the second time without sin unto salvation."

PASSOVER, 



We have always "been taught to look upon the Pass- 
over as simply a ceremonious rite commemorating the 
flight of the Israelites from the land of Egypt (Egypt 
is symbolical of darkness), where they were in bond- 
age. 

But there is a deeper meaning, a sacred and sublime 
meaning, to this command and decree. 

Passover means deliverance from bondage. 

It means a change, a spiritual change and transmu- 
tation to a higher estate. 

It means purification and the flight of the soul from 
past errors and identification with God in the name of 
Christ, the deliverer and Saviour of the souls of men. 

"Thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your 
shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hands ; and 
ye shall eat it in haste ; it is the Lord's passover." 

"For I will pass through all the land of Egypt this 
night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of 
Egypt, both man and beast ; and against all the gods 
of Egypt, I will execute judgment, I am the Lord."' 

All who strive to attain the soul of Christ must eat 
this passover. 

The first stage is preparation; with the loins girded 
with strength and desire of purity, 



142 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



"With shoes on your feet." Determination and a 
firm will prepares us to cope with the rock-crusted 
and mountainous roads we must travel. These are the 
shoes we must wear. "And your staff in your hands. " 
This staff is the desire of the mind and heart and soul 
to pass-over from the material, and night of flesh, into 
the everlasting day. A freeing from the bondage of 
darkness. 

"We must eat in haste." 

We must take no thought of the morrow, nor allow 
the world to hinder us with its cares and pleasures, for 
to delay means loss for "this is the Lord's passover. " 

The Lord, Christ, held so long in bondage within us, 
will pass over into the lands of promise, which is the 
knowledge given by the soul. 

This knowledge will come to us oftentimes when 
the night is darkest, when the cares and sorrows of 
life most heavily beset us, and when the Lord passes 
through, or Christ is beginning to awaken from the 
tomb or grave of darkness, all the firstborn in the land 
will die. 

The firstborn is the evil, the material, for the evil is 
born within us before the Christ, and evil as the first- 
born must die. 

The weakness, and the desires and thoughts that 
have held us away from the truth, the evil things we 
have loved most and clung to the most tenaciously, 
this is the firstborn within us. 

"And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute 
judgment," 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 143 

These are the gods and idols of the material life 
which hold the soul in darkness; the glitter and 
glamour and illusions of the senses must be judged 
according to their worth, must be recognized as good 
or bad, as false from the true. 

The gods of thought are the most subtle. 

The sensual and material mind loves these material 
thoughts more than all other gods. But, in the night 
of realization they must bow to the Christ as the soul 
passes over from despair and death into illumination 
and light. 

This is the inner meaning of the passover which was 
instituted by Moses among the Jews. 

The Jews had not known the one true God as the 
Ruler of man's destiny until they were enlightened 
by the teachings of Moses. 

The Jews were a stupid, material, sensual race and 
had no conception of the God of all life. 

Mcses was different from all his people. 

All the great saviors of the Jewish race were taken 
into Egypt and were taught the mysteries of the 
truth. Joseph, Moses, and Jesus, were all commanded 
to go to the Egyptians for a number of years and were 
developed far beyond their own people in knowledge . 
and understanding. 

Joseph became the greatest man of his time. 

Moses became the leader of all the Jews and is to 
this day. 

Jesus, after coming from Egypt, astonished the 
(3octors and lawyers of the synagogues with his act- 



144 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

vanced knowledge and was then but twelve years old. 

Does this not point to the fact very clearly that 
Egypt must have been the center of religious knowl- 
edge and power? 

Moses was instructed in all the learning and magic 
of the Egyptians and Initiates and the literal test of 
the passover in the book of Exodus is but a symbol of 
the true and real meaning which w T e have attempted 
to give here in as much as we dare. 

Only the Aeth drill and development of the soul 
will reveal much more of the inner esoteric meaning 
of the passover. 

This passover must be celebrated by the soul as "the 
Sabbath of the Lord, in all your dwellings." 

It is the worship of the divine in all the temples, the 
body of man, and is a ' ' Holy Convocation. ' ' 

When the Israelites ate again of "the old corn of 
the land," the day after the passover, when they ate 
"unleavened bread and corn on the selfsame day," 
the manna from heaven ceased. 

When they endeavored to partake of sin, which is 
the "old corn," with their spiritual pretentions, they 
received no more spiritual food for enlightenment. 

This is the mistake many make. 

This is where the Church has failed. 

Too many go to church and pray for forgiveness of 
sins and then go out the selfsame day and sin again. 

Spiritual enlightenment will not permit the soul to 
become blind to illusions and material demands of the 
flesh. We can become intemperate in many ways. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 145 

Overindulgence of the desires of the body in any way 
is intemperance. 

This world goes on blindly striving after those 
things that satisfy the body for a time only and is all 
husks to the soul. 

When we drink of the material waters we thirst 
again and again. There is no satisfaction, no peace or 
rest. The drunkard goes back again and again to the 
wine glass, every time makes him more thirsty for the 
next. The pleasure seeker is en a constant hunt for 
variety and pleasure. 

Like the butterfly, he flits about from flower to 
flower, drinking here, sipping there, and in the end 
never satisfied, for he thirsts again. 

Worn out and worldly weary, the question may 
come to him, " Where is peace and rest?" 

He knows he does not find it in the world where he 
must laugh and be merry if he would be courted, even 
though, as the Spartan boy, "the fire under his vest 
may be eating out his heart. ' ' 

The world demands all we have to give but gives 
little in return. When cur smiles fade it bestows its 
favors elsewhere, and leaves us to starve and thirst 
until the dregs are all that is left. 

It does not pay to starve the soul. 

It is far more important to you than the body. 

Spirituality alone is life. Jesus blessed it, Christ 
taught it. 

You must mark your dwelling place with the sign 
of enlightenment and understanding, for the body re- 



146 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

fleets the soul within it. 

Let the Christ soul enter, for it is the throne of God, 
and all the gods of darkness will be destroyed. 

Thoughts will change and become purified. Evil 
vibrations will pass over into good and they will dwell 
within yen, " before the throne of God, and serve him 
day and night in his temple" (your body) and you 
shall hunger no more and thirst no more for the Lamb 
which is in the midst of the throne (the Christ) shall 
feed you and lead you unto living fountains of 
water." 

Jesus said, when at the well of Sychar, "He that 
drinketh of these waters that I shall give him shall 
never thirst." 

Jesus kept the passover every year and note where 
he says that, "After two clays is the feast of the pass- 
over, and the Son of Man is betrayed to be crucified." 

Why was the betrayal at the time of the passover? 

Why did the crucifixion take place immediately 
after? 

"He took bread and blessed it and brake it, and 
gave it to the disciples, and said: 'Take, eat, this is 
my body.' And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and 
gave it to them, saying, 'Drink ye all of it.' " 

This represents the passover of the physical to the 
spiritual. 

He gave them the bread of life, and the blood of 
purity and obedience to higher laws which lead the 
way to Christ, and development and knowledge. 

There were certain Greeks among them that came 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 147 

up to worship at the feast and they desired to see 
Jesus. It would appear that they made some propo- 
sition to him, for he answers, "New is my soul 
troubled and what shall I say? Father, save me from 
this hour; but for this cause came I unto this hour." 

The Greeks were far in advance of the Jews and 
had Jesus preached among them they would not have 
crucified him, but the flesh must be crucified and for 
that cause Jesus came. Here was a chance to save 
his physical body, but had he done so he would not 
have arisen. His soul would not have passed into 
purity and peace and knowledge of the Christ. The 
law confronted him — how few would have heeded it. 
He knew that none other knew the meaning of the 
passover and that the crucifixion must follow. 

It is purity and freedom from material law and evil. 
It is the ascent into the spiritual. 

It is the preparation for the Christ to dwell in the 
temple— the passover is purification and cleansing of 
the body, the denial of the senses and their desires. 

Paul, the great apostle, explains it: "Purge out 
therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, 
as ye are unleavened, for even Christ, our passover, 
is sacrificed for us." 

"Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old 
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wicked- 
ness, but with the unleavend bread of sincerity and 
truth." 

Not with the old thoughts of malice and wickedness. 
Thoughts make the soul, thoughts are the real pass- 



148 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

over. The purified mind lifts us up into Illumination 
and Christhood. 

This passover must be kept rigidly, not with a cere- 
monious feast and killing of helpless animals, but with 
the transmuting and crucifixion of the desires of the 
flesh. 

Then is the soul lifted up and passes over into at- 
one-ment, unity and sonship with the Father. 

This is the reason why Jesus commanded it, for he 
said, ' ' As often as ye do this ye do it in remembrance 
of me." 

Every day that we keep ourselves free from harm- 
ful, wicked, destroying thoughts, desires, and vibra- 
tions do we eat the passover in remembrance of purity 
and Christ. We desire the pure and the Christ, we 
therefore purge ourselves from evil and sin. 

We seldom commit what we do not think. 

Every act is a reflection of the mind and thoughts 
that dwell within. The body is the dwelling place for 
the mind and the soul. It all depends on what is in 
us by what we think. 

Only till we drink the fruit of the wine and partake 
of the bread of Christ can w T e pass into the temple 
beautiful wherein the Lamb sits in the midst of the 
throne. 

All the mysteries become simple problems in the 
illumination of the soul. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 149 



ILLUMINATION. 

Even after all the teachings and instructions of 
Jesus the disciples went seeking him at the tomb 
where his body was laid. 

They were not yet illuminated, nor lifted up above 
the material — they looked for "the living among the 
dead." Jesus had arisen — he had received the il- 
lumination, he had overcome the flesh and entered 
glory of sonship with God. 

"The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands 
of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day 
rise again. ' ' 

The Son of Man must be crucified, that is, the man 
of flesh must be crucified before he attains the illumi- 
nation of the soul. 

They did not understand even then the mystery of 
the resurrection — that it was the awakening into new 
life and purity. 

Not until they left the material, fearful, doubtful 
thoughts were they able to see him after he arose. 

When they looked away from earth to heaven they 
were able to see the heavenly vision and hear the 
heavenly voices which said, "Ye men of Galilee, why 
stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus 
which is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in 



150 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." 

We must look up before he will come ; we must lift 
ourselves to him, then he will come to us, "for unto 
them that look for him shall he appear the second time 
without sin unto salvation." 

Salvation comes only through the Christ. It is the 
one door into the sheepfold and "he that entered by 
any other way, the same is a thief and a robber." 

If we look for Christ he will come. He will appear 
in a cloud of glory and salvation to us. 

If we attain Christhcccl we will not sin, and without 
sin we have salvation. 

Then again, ' ' we have also a sure word of prophecy ; 
whereupon ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a 
light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawns, 
and the day star arises in your li carts." 

Here is one of the greatest occult mysteries. 

He who is able to read and understand this passage 
of Scripture will have solved the mystery of the Aeth. 

Peter says, "Ye do well that ye take heed." Take 
heed therefore for it is the light that shineth in a dark 
place. It is the light that lighteth every man that 
cometh into the world. It is the mystery of the soul. 

Illumination is the resurrection of the soul, its re- 
birth, its ascension, and its sonship with Christ Jesus. 

The soul of man is a light that leads and guides him 
safely on in the pathways of truth and righteousness. 

It is necessary to find the soul, to see the soul face 
to face and to hear the voice of the spirit before one is 
illuminated with the light and understanding. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 151 

There is but one lawgiver — it is the soul of Christ. 

The soul may he the tiniest spark of a soul, but if 
man wills he can develop it into an aura of great glory 
and in the image and likeness of the Christ. For this 
cause Christ came into the world to be a beacon light 
to all men. 

For this cause was he lifted up that he might draw 
all men unto him. 

For this cause he came unto the hour of trial and 
test, that he might become fully illuminated. 

Illumination is the light in the dark places. 

It leads the soul of man away from earthly illusion. 

Lust has no pleasures of a lasting nature. 

Illuminated souls fully recognize this. 

Illumination is as a light in a dark room. We can 
see and read and know what we are about with the 
light, but without it we stumble and grope amid dark- 
ness. Every man can forsake the flesh if he wills it. 
We must forsake the flesh, its desires, its lusts and 
evils. 

This will create war — wars in heaven and in earth- 
in the best of us and in the worst of us. 

Pure and holy thoughts will come into conflict with 
evil, lustful thoughts. 

A man has the desire to do right, evil says do wrong. 
There is contention and strife. 

When the student begins to develop, when the tiny 
spark of illumination begins to awaken him from his 
earth sleep, temptations and trials will gather thick 
and fast, 



152 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

"Ye lust and have not." Have not what? 

Illumination — resurrection from evil and strife. 

"Ye kill and desire to have, and cannot obtain; ye 
fight and war, yet ye have not because ye ask not. 

To ask is to think righteousness. We may fight and 
war and have not illumination because we do not de- 
sire it. 

The thoughts lead. 

The soul asks, and the mind gives. 

Mind builds and soul receives. 

The soul cannot receive if the mind does not will 
and send forth the answer to the prayers of the soul. 

And if the mind does not cease its wars and con- 
tentions with lustful desires, the soul cannot receive. 

"Ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss, that 
ye may consume it upon your lusts. ' ' 

This is the lust of selfishness. Whosoever asks for 
illumination for self alone cannot receive it, for this 
is asking amiss. Self is the creator of sinfulness and 
wickedness, or it is the creator of goodness and truth. 
No one can attain illumination of the soul if he would 
remain selfish and evil. 

Pretense and hypocrisy are short lived. We can 
deceive men and the world with it, but we cannot de- 
ceive the soul and the Christ. 

If we look into a mirror we see our own reflection. 
It is our own face, features, hands and body, and we 
recognize it whether it is pleasing or not. 

The soul reflects itself in the same way. It will dis- 
close all secrets we have ever kept so safe and secure 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 153 



from the eyes of the world. 

The soul is much like a garden. A beautiful, ele- 
vating, sublime thought is the seed of a beautiful 
flower, a rose it may be, a lily, or violet, but this seed 
is capable of producing many more seeds like it and 
soon there is a garden of wonderful fragrance and 
beauty. But one evil thought will produce a weed, a 
thistle, or a thorn, and these will choke out the flowers 
and destroy them utterly if they are not rooted up and 
cast out. 

Have you ever noticed the strength and vitality of 
the root of a weed, how hard it is to destroy it? It 
takes much care and watchfulness to keep them out of 
the well-tended garden and the thoughts of evil are 
just as subtle and determined to grow and as hard to 
get rid of. 

Selfishness is the hardest thing to get rid of. 

It is the most subtle and illusory of any evil man is 
heir to, and it needs the most careful watching. 

It will lead wrong every time you trust it. 

Learn to respect self without becoming selfish. 

Keep guard over the tomb and watch for the coming 
of day. Day will bring the sun and the sun illumi- 
nates the whole world. It is the life of the world. 
Without it all creatures, all plants, all things would 
die. The sun gives the warmth and the rain, and the 
light to all men— it is the symbol of the Christ or 
Osiris. 

One by one man can pluck the weeds of evil 
thoughts from his soul and plant within its place a 



154 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

tender flower of beauty, light and love and this is the 
planting of the Christ — the conception. It will grow 
and expand as the sun grows from winter to autumn 
in warmth and tenderness, and the whole world will 
feel the glow and light of your presence. 

"God is UgM, and in him there is no darkness at 
all." 

"If we say that we have fellowship with him, and 
walk in darkness, we lie and do not know the tenth." 

"But if we walk in the light, as he is the light, we 
have fellowship one with another, and the blood of 
Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all sin/' 

This does not mean that we are free from all 
struggles with sin and the world, but it does mean 
that if we continue in desiring and living as near to 
our ideal as we possibly can we will become like him, 
and free from sin. 

Man can become perfect if he desires it, and he is 
as much perfect as he desires. 

The wicked man has not a high ideal of perfection. 

He strives to be what his soul craves. 

No man is in doubt when sin tempts him. 

Every man knows the standard of perfection is the 
Christ. He has lived and proved to us how man ought 
to live to attain perfection. 

No man can hate another and be an illuminated 
soul. 

He is in darkness, not in the light, for "He that 
saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother is in 
darkness even until now." 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 155 

Hate is a thorn of evil, a thought, a vibration and 
the man with Christ within him will not harbor a 
thought of hate towards his brother. 

"He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, 
and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. ' ' 

Love is the light. Love is the Christ. Love is God. 
Love is the vibration of life. 

' ' But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and 
walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he 
gceth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes." 

Blind eyes cannot see and if they cannot see they 
cannot give light to the mind and soul. 

Hate is blind because it cannot see the relationship 
of the Brotherhood of Man. All men are brothers. 
All spring from light and love and all should manifest 
light and love. 

We manifest all that we have within us. 

All the light we possess shines forth from us in 
every thought, word and action. 

We cannot reflect Christ until we learn to love and 
demonstrate love as he did. Then we have overcome 
the world and are born again. There will always be 
struggles. Christ has never ceased to struggle with 
the world and will not cease until the "world becomes 
his footstool." 

"All that is in the world, the lusts of the flesh, and 
the lust of the ages and the pride of life, is not of the 
Father out is of the ivorld." 

"And the world passeth away and the lust thereof; 
but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever." 



156 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

The world must die, and lust must be transmuted, 
and he who identifies himself with the world and the 
lusts of the world will die also. You become just what 
you desire. In desiring lustful pleasures you become 
lust itself, and in all things that you desire you be- 
come, for all these thoughts harbor and congregate 
together and become a mass of lust and evil. And 
these will all die sooner or later. When man is an 
illuminated, spiritual man the world and its lusts will 
die. The evil in man dies and then the Christ is born. 

"The commandment which was ordained to life, I 
found to be unto death." Through de%th w^e live. 
Through this death and destruction of evil thoughts 
life is born. It is transmutation. A transforming of 
evil thoughts into thoughts of love. 

The grave of death is the womb wherein the Christ 
is commenced and is born.

The Soul In the Beyond; or Life 
Beyond the Grave. 

There is much speculation and theorizing concern- 
ing- the world 1 beyond, where it is and what it is like. 

Some have taught us that it is the same world with 
just a veil between us, that it is a two-sided world and 
we cannot see beyond the veil. 

Where is the Soul-world, and what is it like ? 

Materialists do not know where the soul is, and that 
we have it here with us. So how can they know where 
the soul-world is ? We have told you that this world 
we now live in is a world of souls, and it is. 

But the world we wish to know about now is the 
world after the change called death. 

The world where the soul lingers for a time. 

This earth is compact, solid and firm. 

Scientists tell us (audi it is true) that this earth was 
thrown out into space (they think) by the sun. The 
reason why it is solid and compact is because of its 
distance from the sun. 

The sun is a symbol of the One Supreme Kuler of 
heaven and earth, the Osiris of the Egyptians, the 
God of Moses, and the Christ of Jesus. 

It is gross matter compared to the finer irridescent 
vibrations given out from the sun. 

The center of man's soul is finer and lighter than 
the bodv, The soul is the sun of the body, and the 



158 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



body, is the universe of the soul. 

It is the temple of the soul. 

We have seen very wicked! people who> lived in 
palaces. Some of the kings and queens of foreign 
lands were fiends in human form. So a wicked soul, 
black as night, often dwells in a beautiful body. The 
soul in reincarnating desires the beautiful as a veil, 
and so oftentimes we find the body a veil, or a cloud 
as it were, to hide the real. Oftentimes a very holy 
person is protected by homeliness. Abraham Lincoln 
was one of the homeliest men of his time but his soul 
was great, grand and beautiful. When men caught a 
glimpse of his soul they became his admirers and his 
slaves. He was honored and adored, not for what he 
looked to be, but for what, he was. He might not have 
fulfilled his great mission had his form and face re- 
flected the great beauty of his soul. 

The coarse soul is not as fine and light as the de- 
veloped soul. Yet there is not a separate world for 
the good and the bad souls. 

They are able to communicate with each other in 
the same manner that we converse and communicate 
with our opposite souls here in the earth life. 

At the feast of Job evil was there communicating 
with God or Good. 

The world beyond, the soul-world, is just a continu- 
ation of this world. 

Some people have a heaven on earth, but most of 
them seem to have the opposite. 

If they do not change before death, they will not 
change immediately after, for the mind dies with the 
body and; there is nothing to build with without mind. 
The soul is what lives. It is what the mind has 
builded and is indestructible. Therefore the evil soul 
lias no 1 mine! in the soul-world It is the "accumu- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 159 

lated experience" of its previous existences and must 
depend! on reincarnation to free itself from its 
darkened, imprisoned state. 

Our chance of salvation is not in the life "beyond. 

It is here. Jesus said, ' ' Now is the time. ' ' 

Your final judgment comes when you have crossed 
the veil and are drawn to the souls in harmony with 
your own. 

A good, pure soul does not love nor attract the evil 
any more there than here. We look on evil here and 
would benefit it. We look on all evil there and would 
benefit them — yet we are just as helpless there as we 
are here, unless the soul desires a change. Unless it 
would he delivered from its hell it has created for 
itself. 

We remember the story of the rich man and 
Lazarus — how he lifted up his eyes in torment and 
beheld Lazarus in heaven — in peace of mind and soul 
rest. The lesson here given proves the soul the rich 
man builded. He received many good things of the 
material. In his lifetime he fed his body and abused 
his soul. He would not give even a crumb of comfort 
to the beggar, — he was clothed in purple and fine 
linens and fared sumptuously every day. He made a 
god of material things. He was selfish and hard 
hearted and had no sympathy for his less fortunate 
brothers, Lazarus was poor in this world's goods, but 
great in soul and right thinking. 
He builded a living soul. 

You ask, "Why should God torment the rich man 
and save the poor man?" 

God never tormented any one and never will. 
The life beyond is a continuation of the life here. 
Evil here' means evil there. Good here means good 
there, The good saves, the evil torments. Evil tor- 



160 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

ments evil. 

Abraham said 1 , "There is a great gulf fixed 1 so that 
they which would! pass from, hence to you cannot; 
neither can they pass to us who would come here." , 

Why? 

This has always been a perplexing verse of the 
Scripture. 

Do you fancy that there is a wide, fixed gulf? 

The gulf there is the same as the gulf between good 
and bad here. Good here cannot and will not accumu- 
late bad and evil, and) evil cannot accumulate and 
transfer good. 

And the soul is builded. It sees its own state. 

If it does not realize the good from evil here it can- 
not change there, because it can only accept what it 
really is. It cannot parade there under the veil of the 
body, — "The veil is rent in twain" — the "temple is 
destroyed, ' ' and the real self is laid bare and the soul 
sees itself as it is and not what it pretended to be. 
But the soul of the rich man desired freedom from his 
anguish and he made one unselfish request, which 
proves that his mind had not totally destroyed his 
soul with selfishness. 

Our weakness is considered our strongest point if 
we but used it for good and not for evil. 

His weakness was self, selfishness, self-absorption, 
and worldly desires. He desired these material things 
to the exclusion of everything and everybody else. 
Had his desires been as strong for good as they were 
material he would have been in heaven. 

Our weakness is our strongest desire. 

¥e allow our strongest desires to govern and con- 
trol us. If we desire evil we allow it to control us — 
this, our weakness, is indeed our greatest strength. 
But' the rich man toew that he must reap what he 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 161 

sowed. He saw that he had not done to others as he 
would! have others do to him. 

He lived in the soul he had built for himself. But 
the rich man desired a change. He desired good so 
strong that he desired for others, and asked Abraham 
to send Lazarus to his father's house, to his five 
brethren, and tell them of the soul he had built for 
himself. And Abraham said, "They have Moses and 
the prophets ; let them hear them. ' ' 

But the rich man said, "If one went unto them 
from the dead they will repent." 

And! Abraham answered, "If they hear not Moses 
and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded 
though one rose from the dead." 

They were their own creators. They were creating 
the souls that would judge them at some time and 
they were their own saviors or destroyers. 

The gulf was fixed. If they desired not the chance 
themselves no soul could help them, although the soul 
of their brother desired to help them. This is the 
meaning of the gulf between the good and) the bad. 

Though the rich man desired the change, he must 
attain it through reincarnation, for the soul can de- 
sire a change but cannot change without the mind to 
build it, thus his only hope is through reincarnation. 

Reincarnation is absolutely necessary for the 
materialist, the robber, the thief, the murderer, for 
this reason — they must have a creator and the mind is 
a creator. It is the giver and the soul is the receiver. 
The desire of the soul for a better condition places it 
in harmony with the vibrations of the minds on earth 
that desire a better condition. 

So he is born again by being drawn into that vibra- 
tion from the desiring mind and his chance for better- 
ment and change is given him. He does this all him- 



162 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

self. In his earth life there must have been moments 
of desire for a life eternal, but the weakness of the 
flesh overcame the spiritual desire. This desire that 
passed beyond the* veil with him was created at one 
time by his mind. 

The desire was strong enough to live and was 
strengthened by some good desires within him which 
was weakened but not destroyed by the earth existence 
and material desires. 

The desires of the flesh are strong because we do not 
see the spiritual. When we see the spiritual the de- 
sires of the flesh die — they leave us consumed by the 
fires of heaven. 

"While we are at home in the body, we are absent 
from the Lord." 

The body claims the attention, and the affection of 
the mind which takes away the thougths for a soul. 
We love the body more than the soul, yet if one were 
to tell us that we could build the bodly for eternity we 
would strive to do so. 

Ponce De Leon sought long leagues for the Foun- 
tain of Youth. He desired to live. He wanted to 
keep the body young, handsome and eternal, but he 
did not know why he had grown old and wrinkled and 
gray. 

We work for the body and allow the soul to decay 
and how can the body be youthful, supple and strong 
when the mind and soul are decaying and sending out 
and receiving charges that are poisonous, bitter and 
destructive. 

When the soul is destroyed it is eternal death. 

No vibration of mind can ever revive a dead soul. 
It is destroyed in hell — in its lusts and carnal desires. 
This is the lake of fire and brimstone. 

We would call electricity a fire. We call lightning 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 163 

a fire, and lightning is electricity. The mind 1 and 
thoughts of mind are the same electrical substance, 
only finer, and invisible to those who see only with 
material eyes. 

The lustful thoughts are consuming fires and are 
the fires of hell. 

Thoughts have color andl these colors are as the 
flames of fire. Scientists of the material world have 
produced the different colors of thought. 

Pure, wholesome, happy thoughts are the fires of 
heaven for heaven is a slate, a plane of the soul. 
There is no mental plane in heaven for the spiritual 
is above the mental and) the heavenly state is attained 
only through the spiritual. 

There is a physical or material state or plane. This 
is when man has not reached the mental, but still lives 
in the physical and material. 

It is the attainment of the physical desires. 
The mental state or plane is where man has moved 
onward in progression and civilization and attains 
great discoveries and heights in the mental world. 
Great mentality lifts man much above the material 
and physical, but the soul and spiritual, are not at- 
tained through great mentality. Men of strong men- 
tality are as forceful in evil in the thought realm as 
physical are forceful on the physical plane. 

There are mental brutes, and murderers as well as 
physical murderers. Occultists have long known that 
sickness, fatalities, disasters and deaths are caused by 
mental murderers at times. 

The physical evil doers and murderers of Atlantis 
have reincarnated as mental murderers, They are the 
same. These mental leaders have been the cause of 
much evil and disaster to the world and mankind. 
The noble minded have held the world against these 



164 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

destructive forces or it would have been destroyed 
long ago. 

We now have many of the spirit brutes and mur- 
derers — those who have used their physical, force, 
their mental force and will now come into the force of 
the spirit. 

These evil spirits would destroy all the spirits of 
good and are the rulers of the darkness of the worlds, 
and spiritual wickedness in high places. 

We are rapidly attaining the spiritual contest when 
Michael and his angels will rule and destroy the 
dragon, the serpent of evil which has deceived the 
world so long. 

We know that physical evil has overpowered the 
physical good. 

We know that mental evil has overpowered the 
mental good. 

But, the spiritual evil or wickedness cannot over- 
power the spiritual good. 

Why? 

Because the evil that was in the flesh or physical 
built a net for itself. Its house was builded on the 
sands. The sun was shining and the day of reckoning 
had not come and the house stood. It was strong for 
the time being and the mental force of evil built to the 
house even more. Every thought of hate, envy, 
malice, greed, thirst for material riches were added to 
the soul house already builded. Then "we must all 
appear before the judgment seat of Christ ; that every 
one may receive the things done in his bod^, according 
to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." 

We receive what we do whether it be good or bad. 

Jesus knew that "Gocl ivas in Christ." and he re- 
ceivedl Christ because he did that which was Christ- 
like of Godlike, He thought good and did good, We 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 165 

always do what we think sooner or later. 

God] is in reality soul for He accumulates all the 
good and receives it — He retains it. 

The God-world is the soul-world. 

We are thoughts of God. Our souls are in part 
Souls of God. For the Soul of GodJ is the ' ' accumu- 
lated experience of Good or God." 

Evil cannot dwell in Good or God. God does not 
receive nor retain evil, therefore evil must be cast out 
and destroyed. As long as man or woman retains a 
single thought of good they hold) that much of the 
Soul of Christ or Good within them. 

When the soul loses all diesire for good then it is 
destroyed. We are now getting at the foundation of 
the soul-world. You will say, "If our souls are the 
accumulated experience of God, why is there evil? 
Follow caref ully— " God is in you." "Know ye not 
that ye are temples of the living God?" In the Father 
we live and move and have our being. But all that is 
evil is cast out. As long as the good dwells ever so 
small within us we have the hope of casting all evil 
from us, and in doing so we become greater in Good. 
Jesus said, "He that is least in the kingdom of heaven 
is greater than John the Baptist or the mental, for the 
soul is above the mental." 

Evil is consumed with fire — soul. 
As an illustration. Gather a heap of rubbish to- 
gether and set fire to it. It is consumed. You see the 
rubbish become less and less and the flames of fire 
greater. Where does the flame go? You cannot see 
it. It becomes invisible. It becomes finer and finer 
and disappears from the physical sight. Where does 

it go? 

When the body dies and is buried what becomes of 
it? It is consumed. It is sometimes covered with 



166 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

metal, the metal casket is covered 1 with, wood, or en- 
cased in wood, and on this is piled heaps of dirt. Yet 
when dissolution takes place in the chemicalization of 
gases, these gases arise through the casket, the wood, 
the dirt, and in conflict with the air or atmosphere 
there is a glow as of fire. It is the consummation of 
the body. Many persons have seen this phenomenon, 
and it is called " Jack-o-lantern" in some districts. 

Where does the fire go ? What does it become % 

It is not the soul, for the soul is not consumed unless 
it consumes itself through secret sins. 

The soul precedes the body. It leaves the body im- 
mediately after the heart-beats cease. 

The soul does not see corruption with the body. 

It gees before. It comes before the body and it goes 
before. 

The soul is fire, "God is a consuming Fire." 

If the soul of man is fire — then the Soul of God is 
a much greater fire. 

God is in all, but all is not God. 

God casts out the chaff, the snares, and the tares 
when the judgment of Christ comes. We have given 
in preceding chapters the judgment of Christ. 

You can easily understand why reincarnation is 
necessary for the salvation of the imperfect soul. 

The materialist must incarnate to obtain a builder. 
If he desires perfection he is drawn toward souls on 
earth who desire perfection and through them obtains 
a mind to build with. 

Music, painting, flowers, birds are spiritual vibra- 
tions. Music is a vibration. It is the sound of all 
spiritual voices. Love produces music and is the 
symphony of heaven. 

The soul while in its incarnating state receives the 
echoes or sounds of spiritual harmony and is able to 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 167 

reproduce them. These souls are musical geniuses. 

Art or painting is the vision of the spiritual. 

Artists create the scenes the soul has witnessed, 
good or bad. The artist while in its incarnating state 
is drawn to the soul on earth who has witnessed;, or 
desires to witness, the scenes or visions of the heavenly 
and the artist soul drawn to it and retains the pictures 
of the soul-world. He paints nothing outside of soul, 
for all the beautiful or bad is of the soul and dwells 
in the soul-world. 

The poet — is he not greatest? He has heard the 
voices and brings the words with him. 

Poetry is of the dominant vibration, for in it we 
have music and art and all there is to have. 

We can hear the voices of the gods in the rythmic 
flow T of the rhymes, We can see the scenes of the soul 
and the spiritual realm. 

We w T alk here by the side of decaying souls. 

We will walk there by the side of decaying souls. 

We may be ascending, they may be descending. 

Soul may touch soul and body touches body, and 
the evil cannot contaminate the good if not desired by 
the soul. 

Our soul may be in heaven, — the other in hell — as it 
is here on earth, where some are in heaven and some 
in hades. 

The thoughts of the soul are the accumulated 
thoughts, and these make the soul. 

The soul-world is simply a continuation of the 
physical world. Let us tell you how to reach perfec- 
tion. 

As an example. Here is a young girl who loves 
music, she desires to become a perfect artist but for 
some reason there may be a weakness which will not 
permit her to become a master of music in the present 



168 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

life, aye, not even a good musician. However, this 
young 1 girl has faith in herself and her God and 
though she finds that she cannot become a master in 
the present life, she may not even know anything of 
the beyond, yet she will keep on faithfully in her love 
for music and continue to practice. She has made up 
her mind to reach as far as she can and leave the rest 
with G-od. She does not give up, but continues until 
the end in her love. 

She passes to the beyond. Life there is just exactly 
as it was here, to her ; but there is one change, she has 
thrown off the body. The soul is free, it can hear the 
music in its perfection. However, her soul is not 
perfect, and as the mind cannot think, the soul does 
not change its desires but continues to hunger for 
music. The soul is free, it covers the universe and it 
can come into touch with those people on earth who 
are lovers of music. 

Aye, it knows. It sees two people, man and wife, 
love or lover, it hovers above them, around them, now 
the proper time is at hand, The time for reincarna- 
tion has come, it enters and soon the future genius is 
born. 

As we build now so will we be in the beyond. We 
will simply continue. If we have no special desire, no 
spot to reach, we will be under conflicting emotions in 
the soul-world and be reincarnated through most any 
kind of parents who are not altogether antagonistic 
towards us. 

Just at that which we truly aim, will we reach for 
in the beyond; we think only of that and come into 
touch with that only. 

This law holdts good in all things. Where our desire 
be for music, art, soul culture, Whether we be a 
lover of flowers, of architecture, sculpture, etc. No 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 16 9 

matter what the desire, the one law holds good. 

Were I to desire great beauty and perfection of 
form, I should hold this constantly in mind. Not only 
that, but I would work with that end in view, follow- 
ing the most perfect rules for development and beauty 
culture and continue until death. This thought would 
held the soul in the beyond, and this same magnetic 
force Avould draw me to the proper parents, for bear 
in mind, "the soul in the beyond is only what you 
make it here. After it reaches there it cannot think 
or build, unless it has reached perfection. It is the 
soid only, and its attracting power is the power with 
which you invested it here." 

Take an opposite illustration. We take the common 
man on earth. He lives on, having no special aim in 
life except possibly to make money. He is not totally 
wicked, he is simply more or less selfish, but not selfish 
enough to destroy the soul. He passes to the beyond ; 
in earth life he had known nothing of the soul ; he had 
not tried to build any. When he reaches the beyond 
his soul is more material than spiritual, because his 
strongest desire was money. 

The soul is spiritual in its nature even though evil. 
Now this soul is in the: soul-world, it is spiritual. But 
think of it, it desires a material thing — it is in hell. 
It continues so until it finds parents who are as near 
in harmony with its inharmony as it is possible to be. 
It reincarnates, but it is no propelling force, and it 
lives again almost as before, unless its former desire 
gives it power to obtain wealth or unless the minds of 
the parents are more spiritual than material and give 
it incentive for spiritual things. 

Now ice must start to build that which you desire to 
be in the beyond, and then in the beyond beyond that. 

You can be that which you want to be, whether it is 



170 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

to be an artist, a musician, a lawyer, a sculptor, an 
architect, a Christ, a millionaire, a general, or what- 
ever else you w T ish. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 171 



AETH HEALING. 



Ether is formed by the activity of the fluids in the 
center of the sun. 

Air is a more dense form of Ether. 

As it becomes more dense it forms a colorless gas 
called oxygen. 

Ether is the electrical spark that creates. 

It is one of the finest substances in existence and 
forms light. It is the center of vibration. Ether is 
the electrical vibration from the center of the sun. It 
is more active than air, hence is the rigidity of air as 
air is next to ether in velocity. 

Ether is light — white, penetrating light. 

Air is both light and dense. 

The lighter stage is ozone. 

The heavier is oxygen. 

The pure white light is the ether. 

The healing of the adepts, masters and by Christ 
was accompanied by. the highest force known to man 
or the adepts. 

This force is the Aeth. 

It is the same force that Bulwer Lytton called the 
Vril. It is that which the Philosophers and Alchemists 
have called the "Elixir of Youth" and the "Philoso- 
pher's Stone." 

Christ used this force in all his healing. 

Many cults have used it to a certain extent, but only 
the masters know what it is and how to use it. 

This aeth is a transmutation of the ozone and ether 



172 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

in the air. A forming into one through certain de- 
velopments. 

The true Neophytes in the secret initiations have 
been taught this development and the transmutation 
of the ozone and oxygen into the geth. 

Some mental and mind healers have used the ether 
for healing, but have found that all diseases will not 
yield to it. 

They did not understand thoroughly the secret of 
its accumulation and transmutation, and are thus 
handicapped to a certain extent concerning certain 
diseases. 

The ether will heal any mental disease or imaginary 
ills or troubles. Ether can be condensed, and its 
rigidity is even more active than the lightning flash, 
although the lightning is a compressure of the ether 
and air. 

The mentalists have understood the law governing 
the use of the ether, but have not known what it is, 
nor where it comes from. 

They have called it Divine Healing and Christian 
Healing. It is a part of the Divine Healing, also 
Christian Healing, but it is not the complete Christ 
Conception and Healing. 

Magnetists have discovered the use of the ozone. 
Mesmer has explained the magnetic laws and knowl- 
edge perhaps better than any one. 

He explains magnetism as a fluid that exists in the 
heavenly bodies, the earth and in the animals, or per- 
sons. 

This is true. The ozone in the air is the transmuta- 
tion of the ether into air, and this fluid or vibration 
exists in all, both heavenly and earthly. 

The magnetism of persons is analogous to or similar 
to the magnetism in the heavenly bodies in the air, 



SOUL SCIENCE AN D IMMORTALITY. 173 

and in the earth. 

It is the first to have been discovered. 

It is nearer to man and is heavier cr more dense 
than ether, consequently it could be transmitted or 
transferred by the touch cr manipulations. 

When mentalists discovered the laws of ether they 
combined the two and produced electro-magnetism. 
Yet these two combined have not perfected the healing 
laws that Jesus knew, used and employed. And no 
one but a master can either teach it or use it, and but 
two fraternities have ever taught it cr been able to 
teach it. 

This aeth is produced by the electric currents of the 
mind and the magnetic currents of the soul. It is a 
wedding of the mind forces to the awakened soul 
forces. It is the finest and most powerful force known 
to the masters and adepts. There can be no power be- 
yond this. 

This a?th healing is therefore the highest type of 
healing, and is the most powerful type. 

It is the true Christ healing because Christ used it. 

The most peculiar part of it is that the student 
knows that he has the power. As he develops the 
force under careful guardianship of a master it will 
become so strong and powerful that he can actually 
see it. 

There is therefore no guesswork about it. 

There is no mistake caused by a lack of knowledge 
in the proper use of it, and application to the diseased 
organs of the body. 

Ether penetrates all bodies. It is electrical. 

It is light and luminous, but does not pervade all 
space as it is the spark from the electrical center. It 
is the active, positive principle of mind — divine mind 
^ancl is electrical, the giver and the creator, 



174 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

The memtalists have discovered the laws of ether 
audi the magnetists have discovered) the laws of mag- 
netism. But the third principle or law which is the 
geth has not been discovered and used except by the 
few. It is the induction of the electrical into the 
magnetic and the production of the third principle — 
but this must be in a living body. 

The unity of the Father and the Son, creates the 
Christ or Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the fire of- 
the soul. It is not the soul, but is the fire that de- 
scends from 1 heaven and baptizes the soul. 

Why have magnetists failed? 

Because certain bodies and conditions of the bodies 
diseased are too dense and compact to admit of the 
induction of the magnetism. 

Gross, heavy, coarse magnetic substance requires 
heavier induction than finer, thus iron is harder to 
magnetize than some other magnetizable metals, and 
does not retain the magnetic fluid or vibrations as 
long as will steel. 

Bodies are the same, and the poisons and chemicali- 
zation of certain gases in the system makes it more 
antagonistic to induction of magnetism than bodies 
more receptive and finer. 

When the mentalist came with the mind healing, 
the vibrations of mind were lighter and more pene- 
trating than the magnetism. It is the ether or etheric 
energy or activity and is the positive principle. This 
is electro'-magnetism. Yet electrical or mental 1 treat- 
ments have not cured all diseases. There are those 
that will not yield to mental treatments, as there are 
these that will not yield to manipulations or magnetic 
treatments. 

Magnetic treatment is given by manipulation be- 
cause magnetism must be inducted by force. The re- 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 175 

laxation of tlie body diseased makes if receptive to the 
induction of magnetism. The true magnetist under- 
stands the law and uses it in this manner. 

Mental science healing, or mind healing, is electri- 
cal. It is produced, and the charges of mental vibra- 
tions, or electrical currents are sent through the 
system or the diseased portions by mental affirmation 
of positive thought. 

This is the healing practiced by John the Baptist, 
but a greater followed. This is the fire baptism or 
Holy Ghost. It is the science of the soul — the asth 
healing, as taught by the masters, adepts and Christ. 

The mental law united with the soul law produces 
a greater law — the third degree of healing, and the 
third in the Godhead. 

Jesus said, "Baptize them in the name of the 
Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost." 

The first principle of the law of healing is given in 
the First Chapter of Acts. 

"These all continued with one accord (harmony in 
mind and soul) in prayer (desire) and supplication. " 

"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, 
they were all with one accord in one place. 

"And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as 
of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house 
where they were sitting. 

"And there appeared unto them cloven tongues as 
of fire, and it sat upon each of them." 

This was the union of mind and soul and the Holy 
Ghost was born of the union. 

Jesus "commanded them that they should not de- 
part from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the 
Father, which saith he, ye have heard of me." 

"For John truly baptized with water (mind) ; but 
ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many 



176 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

days hence." 

The Christ must be accepted, must be conceived 
with the soul and born within before the promise is 
given. When the Christ conception takes place, 
knowledge begins to flow to the student. The mind 
must arouse the will and send forth the creative 
vibration of currents to the soul where it is received 
and nourished until the birth of Christ. 

This wedding of mind and! soul brings forth the 
Christ— the Holy Ghost. 

And "when he doth appear we shall be like him, 
for we shall see him as he is. ' ' 

This is also of the asth, the healing as taught, used 
and demonstrated by Jesus and his disciples. Jesus 
knew all the hidden secrets of nature, and how to use 
them properly. 

Do you realize that Jesus was persecuted because 
of his religious belief? There was no personal grudge 
or hate against him. They persecuted and condemned 
him because he taught God as a universal benefactor 
and indweller of man. 

The Jews' God was a personal being. A man, clan- 
nish and warring, hating one race and loving the 
other, pouring out blessings upon one and depriving 
the other out of its just rights. This was the monster 
the Jews worshipped and called God. It was not the 
God Moses taught, for did not Jesus tell them that in 
the Law was written, "I said ye are gods"? 

Dud he not also explain that they knew not even the 
spirit of Elias. And now what is this spirit of Elias? 
We know it was not a disembodied negative seeking to 
obsess a sensitive or medium. But Avhat is it ? Is it 
not the spirit of truth "which was for to come?" 

Jesus knew where and what God was. He knew He 
was tbe Universal good and power, and truth in all 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 177 

things, great and 1 small. 

This good, this power, this truth dwells in all men 
and man has the right to the use of it if he wills. 

There are laws within these realms and only 
through the breaking of them does man suffer. 

He suffers because he himself is broken with the 
broken laws. For it is a part of himself that he 
breaks, That is why he suffers. 

The true Christie power of healing has never been 
taught except by two fraternities known to the 
masters. 

To be able to demonstrate and use the power one 
must become an adept or master. 

We must know the law — and we must be able to dis- 
cover the direct law man has broken within himself 
before proceeding to cure him. 

There is no power beyond the a^th. 

It is the mental and magnetic combined with a 
greater healing force, and so is all instead of a part of 
divinity. And to become worthy to use this power 
one must become in conscious and absolute touch with 
the divine law of healing. 

The mentalist has reached a part, the magnetist has 
another part. Both belong to the whole but are not 
the whole. "What both lack is the unity of the mind 
and soul in conscious and supreme harmony, and ex- 
change of power. 

All is fire and the fire is the life and soul of man, 
yet man cannot even see it. 

The neophyte is taught how to control these fires 
and then transmute them into' the aeth. 

This aeth is the spirit or soul poured out upon the 
sons and daughters of God. 

The neophyte can see it, can control it and can 
transmute it into healing power, 



178 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

People have wondered how Jesus walked the waves 
of the troubled sea, yet no one wonders why a doctor 
of medicine adds certain proportions of certain pow- 
ders and liquids and poisons to produce one certain 
kind of medicine. 

Yet within the air, the atmosphere we breathe and 
live in and move in, are the same properties of the 
same medicines only in a different but more perfect, 
penetrating and complete form 1 . 

Why do men scoff at phenomena produced by an in- 
dividual when the lesser lights and life of nature are 
daily producing them and man ignorant, unbelieving, 
stupid disbelieves because of his ignorance. 

Religious teachers have referred to Jesus as a "pre- 
cocious child at twelve years of age." Individuals, 
writers and these teachers refer to the disciples as 
"ignorant and unlearned fishermen," not realizing 
that they are betraying their own ignorance and lack 
of natural knowledge by absorbing too much <of the 
material knowledge called education. Education is a 
thing necessary, yet it is not absolutely necessary in 
the great work. The greatest souls (not husks of 
souls) have been men with little learning or education. 
Soul is greater than mind. 

Mind is a part of God, but the soul is all of God; 
therefore the whole of a thing is greater than a part 
or portion. 

"We have no mention made of Jesus' education and 
learning. We have of Paul the Apostle and others. 
Yet no one can tell whether Jesus' mind was mar- 
velous or not, but we can all tell what his soul was. 
His soul was the Christ. 

He tells us that there are three in the God-head — 
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost — and these three are 
One, God is 1 not all Min>d, God is Soul ? and all of 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 179 

Soul is God for the soul inherits the life eternal. But 
without the birth of the Christ the soul cannot inherit 
eternity and unity. 

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Mother). 

Mind. Christ. Soul. 

Ether. Oxygen. Ozone. 

There is nothing beyond this for man to know. 

But how can they be transmuted into the aeth ? The 
aeth is all. Aeth means all or the Highest, the Leader. 

When the neophyte attains the first stage of de- 
velopment he is baptized with water (mind). 

His second stage is to be baptized with Fire (Soul). 

His third stage is to be baptized with scnship — he is 
an adept, a master, a Christ. 

The knowledge that will come to him through these 
baptisms is the knowledge of wisdom and truth. 

It is the sword which guards the gates of the Gar- 
den of Eden — the sword which turns in all direc- 
tions — it is the circle of the Ancients which represents 
the Symbol of Life. 

The love and the marriage of the mind and the soul 
is the marriage of the Lamb and the Church,

SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 181 



AETH— Proof of Its Christ Power. 

The life of all things is love. 

Love is therefore the basis of the aeth healing. 

The geth healing is soul healing and is attainable 
only through love, for what we really love is what we 
buildi and our souls are the thoughts we love. 

But love is not of the earth, nor of the things of the 
earth. The lustful soul does not love, it only desires. 

Love is the highest vibration of all the universe. It 
is the "Light that lighteth every man that cometh 
into the world." 

To be a successful healer you must learn to love. 
You must desire with all your soul to know this love. 
When you know this then you know Christ. 

We cannot know love until we have purified the soul 
cf its evil. 

As long as we live in the world we cannot flee from 
temptations, nor strife, nor suffering, but we can flee 
from evil. 

We are able to resist sin. 

We can become like Him, and we can never see Him 
until we do become like Him, for when "He doth 
appear we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as 
He is." 

When Christ does appear to you and you know Him 
you will know that your bodies are the members of 
Christ. 

"Know ye not the unrighteous shall not inherit the 
kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither forni- 



182 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

cators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, 
nor abusers of themselves with mankind." 

"Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor re- 
vilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of 
God." 

With these words before him, can man misunder- 
stand 1 ? 

These are the greater sins and are ever a beacon 
light of themselves for the effects of the sin are seen 
and manifested daily. But there are many; smaller 
sins which are not so easily seen, because we must look 
close and deep to find them. 

The monster that sometimes holds us from our goal 
is the most deceptive. 

Search deep therefore and wash yourselves. Wash 
the soul and purify it with the Light of the Soul. For 
"if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus fromthe dead 
dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead 
shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit 
that dwel] eth in you. ' ' 

Read this verse carefully, and note that Jesus was 
raised from the dead and that the Christ was raised, 
which shows us that the raising up of the flesh also 
raises the Christ. 

"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if 
ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body 
ye shall live." 

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they 
are the sons of God. 

"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, 
that we are the children of God. ' ' 

The healer must identify himself and his works 
with the Spirit of God. Through the seth drill we are 
fully conscious that the ' ' Spirit of God is witness with 
our spirit/' for we shall know what the spirit is. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 183 

The world has wrongfully used the Spirit of God in 
ignorance and blindness. 

We are told time and again in the Scriptures that 
He will manifest Himself to us. That we shall see the 
Christ face to face. There are those- who have seen 
Him. We have seen His deed's and thoughts mani- 
fested, but have not seen Him as He is. 

I may accomplish a great work in this world and 
you may hear of me and my work and yet be unable 
to see or know me. 

If your desire is great enough and you would wish 
to see me, you would come to me and you would wish 
to see me as I really am. 

You would not wish to see another and you would 
not be satisfied with uncertainty and doubt, not even 
if that other resembled me very much. You would 
want the real me. 

Yet false Christs are fostered on the blind and 
ignorant day by day. 

Ask them where He is and they know not. 
Some are looking for Him now in the desert and 
even in the wilderness and the mountains. They 
claim to believe and know and yet their eyes are blind 
to the oft repeated fact through book after book of the 
Scripture that "He is in you." That you may see 
Him and know Him as He is. And a more beautiful 
promise that "you may become like Him." 

When Jesus taught the Holy Truth He brought 
light and not darkness. If the world cannot see and 
know the Christ it knows not the true teachings of the 
Christ, for Jesus knew and saw, and so did all the 
disciples and not the disciples alone, "but them also 
which shall believe through their words." 

John again tells us, "Hereby know ye the Spirit of 
God. Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ 



184 SOU I. SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

is come in the flesh is of God." 

Jesus never taught denial of the flesh, He taught 
purification of the flesh. 

It can be made pure and holy and acceptable to 
God. If it were not necessary to possess body Christ 
need not come in the flesh. 

We should preserve, protect and guard the body as 
well as the soul. We all wish to save the soul yet we 
feel that we can do as we please about abusing the 
body, not knowing that the body must be clean if it is 
inhabited by a clean soul. Does a clean, thrifty house- 
keeper dwell in a dirty, unkempt house ? 

No, we always judge the housekeeper by the ap- 
pearance of her home. 

, The first step for the student is learning house- 
keeping. Rid the mind of all the bad, impure 
thoughts, call in the purest and best and you will 
never fail in healing. 

The physician who wants to succeed always pro- 
cures the best drugs and healing apparatus he can 
find and afford. He locates himself in the most 
favorable and inviting place he can find. The geth 
healer must do the same. 

Why should mentalists deal out poisonous thoughts 
to one and healing thoughts to another ? 

There is danger of getting them mixed. 

The aeth healer cannot deal out poisons because if 
he. tries it he immediately destroys all healing poAver. 

The Christ comes healing all, saving all. 

"The sun of righteousness shall arise with healing 
in his wings ; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as 
calves in the stall." 

The aeth cannot fail in the cure of all diseases if the 
student will go through the way and prepare himself. 

He must not make the mistake of thinking he can 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 18 5 

use the aeth until he can see and know what it is. 

The ether is white — it is light. 

The ozone is dark blue. 

The oxygen is yellow and: is heavier than ozone and 
more dense. 

These contain all the elements of healing of any 
disease man is heir to because they contain all the 
elements of life. 

Mind creates and solidifies the ether into electricity 
by a knowledge of how it can be done. 

Electrical charges are through from the mind to the 
soul by the thought which at the command of the 
mind produces the yellow light which is ozone. 

The first degree of healing attained by this means 
was magnetism. 

Then the mental scientists wrought electrical heal- 
ing. 

The soul brings the aeth healing which is the medium 
unattained by either magnetists or mentalists. 

The student can learn to produce the aeth in a 
second of time. 

In a second he can send the vibrations of healing 
throughout the body and effect the cure. 

He does not concentrate entirely on the patient. 

He simply draws to himself the vibrations or cur- 
rents of the aeth or soul and transfers them to the 
disease. 

The patient must, however, live the life of purity, 
for purity cannot remain in an impure vessel. 

It is impossible to fail in a cure for no one but a 
master or an adept can attain the aeth. 

It must be understood, however, that where an ail- 
ment is through Karmic Law nothing can be done 
except help the patient to get rid of such bad karma. 

The aeth healer cannot abuse his power nor misuse 



186 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

it, for if he does it will be taken from him. 

This is spiritual healing, and cannot be imitated by 
pretenders. 

There is no malicious animal magnetism and no 
danger of black magic. 

The patient is safe in the hands of the healer for he 
is the disciple of the Christ. 

First, the student must find the soul. 

This cannot be acquired from' books or from 
teachers. The teacher can guide, guard and protect 
his students, but the soul science can be attained only 
through his own efforts. 

He cannot read a few rules and instructions on con- 
centrations, suggestions and laying on of hands. He 
must go forth and find the Essence of Life, the vibra, 
tions of healing from the Father and take on the Son- 
ship of the Christ. 

It is an erroneous idea that but one man or twelve 
men. healed diseases of all kinds and then the power 
was lost. 

The Light of the world never goes out. 

Healing is life and life is never lost or dies. 

The vibrations or currents of life never go out or 
die. 

Man made the mistake and not the power of God 
was lost when he limited the life of healing. 

They all tell us God is Life. 

Can they tell us where God is? 

No man ever overcame the laws of God and Life. 

He who cannot realize or understand where the 
dwelling place of his own soul is cannot understand 
where the dwelling place of God is. 

God is above us. 

God is within us. 

The knowable, loving, unchanging God is within us. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 18 7 

It is the life within us. It is the breath, the sight, 
the sound within us. 

The five senses are not "beliefs of mortal mind." 
They are the sense of mind. 

The spirit and soul can hear, see. touch, taste and 
smell because spirit is within and rules all. 

Spirit is the fire of the soul and is the fire that 
Christ promised to send upon the earth to consume 
all that is gross, earthly and evil. 

"If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; 
old things are passed away; behold all things are be- 
come new. And all things are of God." 

The student is taught the secret of breathing in the 
seth and transferring it, but he must know and see 
the power he is using. 

No disciple healed until he had breathed in the 
power of the Holy Ghost. 

"He breathed on them; and saith unto them, Re- 
ceive ye the Holy Ghost. ' ' 

They had not received full power while the Master 
was with them. Not until they saw spirit of fire de- 
scend from heaven did they possess full and perfect 
power. 

There appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of 
fire and it sat upon each of them. ' ' 

' ' And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and 
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave 
them utterance." 

The world owes much to the magnetists and men- 
talists. Their works were wonderful and blessed 
many. They were the forerunners of the 8Bth, the 
Elder Brother, the Son of God and the Second Coming 
of the Christ which is the Love of God manifested and 
seen and understood. 

Many of the healers of the present day look upon 



188 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

healing more as a business and profession than as the 
teaching and development of the soul. 

They have not healed from the soul. They have 
not healed from the mind and healed mind with mind, 
without healing soul with soul. They have not reached 
deeper than mind and mind dies. The magnetists 
have used magnetism without knowing where it comes 
from and what it really is, yet the magnetism of the 
soul and the much talked of animal magnetism are not 
the same although to a certain extent they are similar. 

The magnetism taught for many years is not the 
purified magnetism of the aeth. 

The aeth is the purification of both soul and mind 
and the healing is drawn from the union of both. 
This wedding of the mind and soul produces life, 
quickens and generates life for all, and the asth is 
stronger than mental healing or magnetic healing be- 
cause it is in reality the life of both — it is all that 
mind and soul can give. 

"He was in the world and the world was made by 
him, and the world knew him not. ' ' 

"He is in you and you were made by him and you 
know him not." 

"He came to his own, and his own received him 
not." 

He has come to you and you have received him not. 
You have not lifted up the veil and sought earnestly 
and sincerely or you w^ould have received him when 
he came. 

How f ew realize the importance of the development 
of the soul. The soul is the throne of the Christ — ■ 
"the temple not made with hands," It is the temple 
made for you by your own Creator. 

"But as many as received him, to them gave he 
power to become the sons of God, even to them that 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 189 



believe on his name, which were born not of blood, nor 
of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of 
God." 

The flesh will not will anything that takes from 
itself — neither does the will of man, for both are un- 
enlightened and seek after the world and the things 
that are in the world. 

The sons of God are born of God. 

Just as we would say the son of evil is born of evil. 
We can easily perceive how he is born of evil. We 
know that he seeks, lives, moves and has his being in 
evil. 

Evil is all, is life to the evil man. The evil man is 
the unawakened, unenlightened man, and knows not 
the soul nor where it is. 

In the aeth the knowledge of all the planes where 
the Hierarches, the rulers, the Initiates, the Ancient 
Wise Men, are attainable. 

The neophyte has the hard path before him, the 
path that is strewn with thorns and which leads in- 
evitably to the cross. But without the cross there can 
be no resurrection. 

But after the resurrection the wonders of the 
heavens open and the "woman clothed with the sun, 
and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a 
crown of twelve stars," will appear and this great 
mysrtery is unveiled, understood, and wondered at, 
but marveled at no more for the student ceases to 
marvel any more at this great mystery for it is plain 
and simple to his awakened soul. 

He must take up the cross and follow, he must be 
willing to suffer, strive and wait, but at the hour of 
victory when the soul speaks and opens the gateway 
to knowledge, wisdow, and love, it is all worth it. 

It is worth all struggles, all tempests, all battles to 



190 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

learn the hidden secrets of nature. She is only behind 
a veil and the veil is very thin and sheen to the few 
who know. 

Men marvel, as did the disciples ' ' while they looked 
steadfastly toward heaven as He went up., and behold, 
two men stood by them in white apparel." 

"Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye 
gazing up into heaven f The same Jesus which is 
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like 
manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. ' ' 

And how did He come to them? He told them He 
would come again, how did He come? 

In this manner: "When the day of Pentecost was 
fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 

"And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as 
of a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled all the house, 
where they were sitting. 

"And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like 
as of fire, and it sat upon each of them and they were 
all filled with the Holy Ghost"— the Motherhood of 
God — the Soul Fire. 

This was the baptism of the Fire, Soul, and Holy 
Ghost. It can be seen as they saw, and it can be 
identified with the soul and known. 

As Paul tells us, "We shall all be changed in a 
moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last, for the 
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised in- 
corruptible, and we shall be changed." 

"For the corruptible must put on incorruption, 
and the mortal must put on immortality." 

"So when the corruptible (flesh) shall have put 
on incorruption (purified soul) and the mortal shall 
have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass 
the saying that is written ? Death is swallowed up in 
victory," 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 191 

The righteous soul can never die. When the mortal 
dying, sin-loving man changes, when he thinks the 
thoughts that make him pure and acceptable, he puts 
on immortality. He can not die for the soul never 
dies until man alone destroys it with the pciscn of his 
mind and evil deeds. There is no death to changed, 
fire-cleansed man, for death is swallowed up in the 
victory of the soul ever the flesh and the evil charged 
mind. 

In the agth mysteries the evil man reveals himself — 
he stands face to face with himself and judges him- 
self. All the vibrations of evil and weakness are read 
as one reads the pages of an open bock. It is written 
in letters of fire, the fire that you can see, actually see 
and read. For "the Holy Ghost is also a witness to 
us;" for after that he had said before, "This is the 
covenant that I will make with them after those days, 
saith the Lord. / will put my laivs into their hearts, 
and in their minds will I write them; and their sins 
and iniquities will I remember no more." 

There is not much mystery when we see behind the 
veil, for we see the real meaning then and we under- 
stand. 

The veil lies in the letter and not in the spirit of the 
Bible. 

Men have written the truths of the Ancients with- 
out understanding, with the veil before their own eyes, 
but this only demonstrates the strength of the truth 
and the souls of those who have preserved the great 
truths from the hands of the worldly wise and the 
foolish fanatics — for they read with the veil over their 
hearts, yet those who seek to know truly and sincerely 
see and read and know. 

No true Initiate of seth master condemns ncr re- 
iects the Bible, because they of all people understand 



192 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMOETALITY. 



it. They know the pearl of great price, where it lies 
gleaming in a mass of rubbish and where its gleam 
blinds the eyes of the brilliant egotist who stumbles 
by the very door of truth which he cannot see for the 
brilliancy of his own mind. His own light he has 
created for himself is the light that blinds him for it 
is a truth that the mind may become so brilliant as to 
devour the soul. The mind is not the soul. Too much 
mind is the greatest stumbling block the Eeth student 
has before him. 

Mind) — what is mind ? 

It is not all. It is but the beginning of an existence. 

Soul is what man needs. There are many brilliant, 
strong, resourceful minds with small, weak souls. 

And there are great, strong souls with small, 
though not narrow, minds. The lightest load is easiest 
to carry and the mind with but little brilliancy has 
little to give up and is therefore content and willing 
to learn. 

The great, egotistical, satisfied mind finds it difficult 
to free itself from its bondage of egotism and conceit. 
Therefore it has much to give up. But "he that is 
forgiven most will love the most," so the great mind, 
if it will but lose its worldly greatness, has power to 
build as lofty a soul. 

We must take the base metals and transmute them 
into pure and shining gold. 

Egotism, selfishness, conceit and self-absorption are 
sinful and will not do to build upon. There is but one 
sure Rock; it is the Christ. 

No other foundation will stand. In no other way 
can the seeker for truth find true and tenable power. 

"Every man's work shall be made manifest; for 
the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed 
])ij fire, and this fire shall try every man's work of 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 193 

what sort it is." 

"If any man's work abide which he hath built 
thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 

"If any man's work shall be burned he shall suffer 
less 1 , but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." 

What have you built? 

What are you building ? 

And what are you going to build? 

If you have a soul that can be purified with the Fire 
cf the Holy Ghost, you are saved. 

You are saved because you will know how to build 
the scul to attain aethship with the Masters, the In- 
itiates and the Supreme Master, the Christ. 

The Christ power is never lost. 

If it had been lost the world would have been de- 
stroyed long ago. 

Man lost himself. The word, which is the word of 
fire, was not only preserved but guarded and pro- 
tected from the profane, the worldly wise and foolish 
by the spirit of the Veiled Isis. 

When man in his blindness stumbled upon the 
treasures of the kingdom of heaven and brought them 
forth to distribute blindly and without reason to a 
world of babblers, the veil was yet secure and tight. 
These who were foreordained by the spirit of law and 
righteousness were not sleeping (waiting for a 
trumpet to sound and rouse them from inertness and 
incompetency, for he who sleeps never accomplishes, 
never works, never learns, never attains), but were 
bearing the arms and shields of the truth that it be 
not betrayed and outraged by the ignorant. And 
while they have led them blindly, yet they have not 
seen, but these whose eyes were opened may see as did 
Saul of Tarsus. 

THE END, 



194 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



The Work We Must Do. 

Souls are needed in this vast work of ours — souls 
that are ready and willing to tread in the footsteps of 
the masters who have gone before and prepared a 
place for them. 

The time has come when workers are needed. The 
field is large and laborers are few. The soul cannot 
advance unless it is active. It must have the chance 
to accumulate force from the planes of those who have 
achieved great spiritual knowledge and development. 
It cannot advance if it slumbers, any more than the 
man can exist without work. The world is starving 
for the truth; there are many hungry, thirsty, seek- 
ing for paths of light and we must reach them. 

We do not wish to see a creed-bound organization 
formed for the great truths must be given to the few 
and chosen ones. 

There are many throughout the world who belong 
to the Invisible Brotherhood. They are men and 
women of the purer water, pearls of great price, and 
they silently do the work given them to do without 
"praying in synagogues with loud voices and thank- 
ing God that they are not as others are. ' ' 

They are the humble doers of the word. They 
understand the laws of life and nature and of God, 
and their duty is to obey them. 

The fraternity has opened its doors to all who will 
to come. Teachers, helpers and workers are needed. 
The truth must be sent to all, the true Christ, the. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 195 

Osiris, must be made manifest, but "how can they 
call on him in whom they have not believed, and how 
shall they believe in him of whom they have not 
heard?" And how shall they hear without some one 
to tell them? 

It is our desire to reach all the people, to open their 
understanding to the truth and thereby benefit 
humanity as it has never been benefited, for there are 
few indeed who know the truth. 

The masters of all ages are with us, lending us 
strength and power, for the time has come for a great 
change in the religious world. 

The Messiah is here and the world knows it not. 
He has come again even unto his own, but his own 
know it not. 

In the ages agone when the minds of men were 
wandering far from the truth, from God, one came, 
not with great sound of trumpet, and voice of thunder, 
but with great power of love, and blessing unto all. 

He came to his own in love given 
And his own received him not. 

And through the mistake of a nation 
There was cast on the world a blot. 

And that blot has ever rested upon the dull minds 
of men. In the first place, the Church blundered. 
Egotism and false doctrines sprung up in divers 
places. People began to seek leaders who demon- 
strated material gains and law, who grew wise in their 
own conceit and were lead away by their vanity. ^ 

Man worshipped creeds instead of the Christ within. 

When the orthodox religion began to spread, the 
letter and not the spirit prevailed. 

Unenlightened men, no matter how great the intel- 
lect or the education, could not demonstrate spiritual 
laws because they knew them not. 



196 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

Ignorance sprang up. The original meaning, the 
real truths, and great mysteries were hidden under 
symbols, and those who were mighty and supreme in 
the wisdom of the gods were the only ones who knew. 
For ages and generations the world has been taught 
wrong. It has been groping around in darkness, seek- 
ing light where there was no light. Straining at gnats 
and swallowing camels. But the world is starving. It 
is standing to-day on the threshold of a great revolu- 
tion in religious circles. Divers doctrines have crept 
in unawares, and false prophets and false teachers 
who have "brought in damnable heresies, and with 
feigned words have made merchandise of many, ' ' and 
"with profane and vain babblings and oppositions of 
science falsely so called; which some professing have 
erred concerning the faith (truth)." 

There are many teachers, some who are sincere and 
earnest but who are not Masters nor Initiates, nor 
have they the secrets and mysteries of those who were 
the elect, the philosophers and sages of the ancient 
wisdom. 

Then again, Black Magic parading in sheep's cloth- 
ing — wolves they are, and "careth not for the sheep" 
— Black Magic is a curse and a destroying archangel 
of all that would work for good. It is diabolism. 

Christ told his disciples that "when ye see the 
abomination of desolation (spoken of by Daniel the 
prophet), stand in the holy places, then let them 
which be in Judea flee into the mountains." And 
this is where Black Magic stands. It is the imper- 
sonator of the One Great Unknowable Gcd. "The 
man of perdition opposeth and exalteth himself above 
all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that 
he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God shewing him- 
self that he is God." 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY . 197 

This is the great destroyer, not the Saviour. 

"But the hour is coming and now is, when the dead 
shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that 
hear shall live." 

And the world stands to-day duped and misled and 
almost destroyed by the great curse and evil, and the 
dawn of a new era is here when the world shall hear 
the voice of the Son of God. 

He is now with us, in our midst, waiting for the 
hour of recognition by the chosen few. 

The great teacher of this generation is in isolation, 
preparing himself for the great work which must be 
done. 

This is the age of transitions of the old into new and 
glorious ones. This fraternity has stood the test of 
time. The grandest achievements ever gained by man 
was originally concealed in the Ancient Mysteries. 

It is the desire of the Brotherhood to send out 
messengers of truth, to band all together in one great, 
grand, complete whole. There are few who are sincere 
and earnest. Souls are worth more than money and 
souls, great, grand, unselfish souls are what are 
needed and wanted more than anything else. 

Are you willing to work for the true G-cd ■? Are you 
willing to teach men. the true law, "That as thou 
sowest so shalt thou reap"? Your opportunity is 
now. The work will put you in touch with the mental 
co-operation of the Great Invisible Brotherhood whose 
members send out in constant streams thoughts of 
strength and blessings. 

The White Brotherhood is reaching out and draw- 
ing together all harmonious vibrations, and trans- 
ferring them throughout all Christendom. 

Great work is waiting for willing hands. 

The fraternity is seeking those ayIio are willing and 



198 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 

ready to assist the Master and spread the doctrine of 
Truth and Life. 

Christian brotherhoods and healing stations should 
be established in all the cities and towns. Honest, re- 
liable, sincere, earnest teachers should be at the head 
of every station, keeping in touch with the whole 
work. Much literature should be given out so that 
the poorest may have a chance to work up to the 
truths and understanding of the great laws, so that 
each one, may gradually learn to find the Christ 
ivithin. 

It must be harmonious work for the purpose of 
benefitting humanity, and giving the shackled soul a 
chance to tear away from the bonds that enslave it. 
Love, good fellowship, sympathy, and understanding 
are the foundation stones from which we expect to 
build in the hearts of men a structure such as will put 
the temple of King Solomon to shame. 

This is the last religion. It is the only religion. 
None greater can follow it for the religion of the 
Christ ivithin is the greatest that man can accept. 

Representatives or teachers are appointed and 
authorized to organize and teach the students indi- 
vidually and in classes. The teachers and organizers 
are selected, proved and tried by the Master of the 
Supreme Temple, who has sole authority. 

Soul Science is the standard text book, and every 
student must own a copy of this book for his indi- 
vidual study and use. He must not loan nor teach 
from the book without permission from the Master of 
the Supreme Temple. 

Classes are organized to meet at least once a week, 
for instructions from the appointed teacher. Private 
lessens are issued every month for class instructions 
according to each chapter. 



SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 199 



THE AETH DRILL 

In the JEth Drill full instructions are given for the find- 
ing of the Soul and obtaining knowledge of the Soul 
World. 

The >£th Drill is the Pathway to the Soul World. Be- 
cause of the many dangers in the way, the student must be 
protected by ONE who knows the way — by a Master who 
has gone the way before him and has opened the gates. 

You ask why this must be so, and why there are dan- 
gers in the way, and what the dangers are. 

I will teli you. The young Soul, or the Soul just awak- 
ening and desiring life is the same as a young child. It 
does not know the Soul World any better than a child 
knows this world. 

There are thousands, aye, millions of illustrations why 
it is necessary to guide a child and protect it, train it, and 
teach it until it reaches manhood. We know then it is 
often liable to fall, but the wisely trained child is less apt 
to go wrong than the child who is unprotected or untrain- 
ed and unguarded. There are pitfalls in the earth world. 
There are pitfalls in the Soul World. 

There are demons here on earth. 

There are demons in the Soul World. 

"As above so below." AS BELOW SO ABOVE. 

Life in the Soul World is a continuation of this. It is a 
continuation of heaven or hell as we have it here. 

Young boys and girls starting out in the world are often 
times misled and hurled to destruction by demons, and 
fiends, and devils of divers description who are in the 
flesh. Many are seductive and beautiful. Many a young 
boy has been destroyed by the beautiful face and form of 
a human woman fiend. He does not know the good from 
evil, the false from true. 

These fiends make beautiful speeches and fair promises. 
"They speak great swelling words of vanity, and they al- 
lure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wanton- 
ness. Those that were clean escaped from them who live 
in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves 
are the servants of corruption." 



200 SOUL SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY. 



The Soul just awakening is ignorant of the things of the 
Soul World, for how can it KNOW of what it has 
never seen? The Soul does not know the true Pathway 
unless shown any better than a child knows the true path- 
way in earth unless taught. 

The child is helpless when in the clutches of a strong, 
grown-up man. Would a mother allow an evil, wicked, 
seducing person to guard and control and teach her child? 
The Soul in like manner must beware. 

Do no not seek phenomena of the Spirit World. 

You are young. You do not know the spirits until your 
spiritual eyes are opened. A child does not know the evils 
of the evil companions, and the seductive influences of 
sensual, lustful men and women. 

SEEK THE SOUL. 

These words are sent to you from the Great White 
Throne : 

"Behold, a throne was set up in heaven, and ONE sat 
on the throne." 

"And round about the throne were four and twenty 
seats; and upon the seats I saw four and twenty Elders 
sitting, clothed in white raiments; and they had on their 
heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded 
LIGHTNINGS and THUNDERINGS and VOICES; and 
there were seven lamps of FIRE burning before the throne 
which are the seven Spirits of God." 

Seek the Soul. "Building UP YOURSELVES as your 
most holy faith, praying (desiring) on the Holy Ghost." 

The ^th Drill is a series of instructions to be given on- 
ly to a very few. Besides the instructions, there are two 
text books. One of these is never sold, but is only for the 
students who take these instructions. 

The student reports to his teacher every two weeks and 
receives personal letters in reply to each report. 

Such a scholarship is practically for life, the student be- 
ing at liberty to write as often as he or she desires until 
complete Initiation is reached. 

If truly interested, send 10 cents for a copy of the beautiful 
book Ki JE\h Mystery" and full information.
